Super Feeler: A BPD Podcast

Experience of Suicidality During the Pandemic (feat. Dr. Juveria Zaheer)

Laurie Edmundson, Juveria Zaheer

Dr. Juveria Zaheer is an expert in suicide risk assessment and prevention, a psychiatrist and a literal Jeopardy superstar.

She is currently exploring the impacts of the COVID pandemic on suicidality and how the pandemic impacted Canadians.

Together we discuss the complexities of suicidality, the need for accessible targeted treatments and why it’s important for people with lived experience to be involved in research.

There’s still time to share about your own experience in the Suicide and the COVID-19 pandemic: Understanding Canadian stories research study.

The study is currently looking for participants who:

  • reside in British Columbia, Manitoba, or Nova Scotia
  • are aged 18 and over (in Manitoba) OR are aged 19 and over (in British Columbia or Nova Scotia)
  • have experienced suicide-related thoughts and/or behaviours anytime between September 2019 and December 2022
