MindSet 2022: Suicide-Part 3 Critical Life Saving Story

Thank you for tuning in to Part Three of our Four-Part Series on Suicide. Each day, in the United States, an average of 130 people commit suicide - about 51% use a firearm. Part Three will highlight a true story about a 16-year-old girl and the critical information parents and other adults must know to save a life. Thoughts of suicide are serious and a vulnerable individual may not have the capacity to manage stressful and unexpected information when it is suddenly shared with them. This broadcast uses storytelling to draw attention to the importance of "knowing your audience" when painful information is revealed. Please pay extra attention to the suggestions made about owning firearms and other potentially life-threatening items in your home (pills, knives, scissors, rope, etc) when someone is living with you who may be struggling with behavioral health concerns (depression, anxiety, addiction, violent outbursts, untreated psychiatric illness, despair, and loss). Please share this podcast with someone you know who could benefit from this information. Thank you.Tom McNulty, M.S.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
