Episode 740: Understanding Suicide with Paula Fontenelle

For more than 20 years, Paula worked as a Brazilian journalist, but that all changed after the suicide of her father in 2005. After experiencing this trauma, she decided to dedicate time to preventing suicide. Since then, She’s trained in Psychoanalysis and just finished her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health. For 12 years now, she’s been helping families deal with this kind of loss and those who are at risk for self-inflicted death.

She has completely transformed her trajectory after losing her dad and she would love to inspire others to reframe their loss and find other ways to deal with their pain.

Paula’s book is titled: Understanding Suicide: Living with loss. Paths to prevention.
