For this milestone episode of the “Hope Illuminated” podcast, I wanted to celebrate a hero to many of us: Dr. Allison Milner. Allison was a fierce and mighty leader whose work in suicide prevention and social justice was shifting the world’s views when she died tragically in an accident on April 12, 2019. In this episode Professor Tony LaMontagne and I share stories about her global impact in the areas of:
Workplace suicide
Unemployment and mental health
Psychosocial job hazards
Interventions that help people live through suicidal intensity
Socio-economic determinants of suicide
Women in research
People with disabilities and social justice
Indigenous people and social justice
