If you’re worried about someone you care about but you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing—or making things worse—this conversation is for you. David Galvan of Soul Shop Movement joins Tim and Liza to talk honestly about suicide prevention, asking the difficult question, and staying present when someone finally tells you what they’re carrying.

In this episode:

• How to ask someone directly about suicide with clarity and compassion
• Why listening can matter more than immediately trying to fix their problem
• How to move someone toward safety, connection, and trustworthy support

David brings years of suicide-prevention experience to a practical conversation about what ordinary friends, family members, and faith communities can do when someone is hurting.

Suicide prevention begins with connection. Thank you for helping create a world where it’s okay to ask for help and safe to offer it.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988, or visit https://988lifeline.org/. Hope is real, help is available, and you do not have to carry this alone.
