We are honoring Suicide Prevention Month and National Recovery Month during September here on Impact Stigma by sharing the moving and miraculous story of our special guest’s journey through recovery and redemption. Join us on this episode of Impact Stigma as we talk with Polly Jessen, a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist and Tennessee Recovery Navigator for Frontier Health Crisis Services at our Turning Point facility. Polly’s story will surprise you, warm your heart, and give you a new perspective on the topic of suicide and addiction. She has been a featured speaker for the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network’s Connection Matters 2020 event, the 2019 Stigma Stops Now Gala, and is a favorite speaker throughout Frontier Health. We are all about having candid and humorous conversations about stigma, so please know that this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment for mental and behavioral health issues. If you are inspired anytime during this podcast to reach out for help or feel triggered in any way, please don’t hesitate to call our 24/7 crisis hotline @ (877) 928-9062, and someone will be there to help you.
