SUICIDE: Breaking the Silence
from Life Under The Willow Tree Hosted by The Podcast Group at Willow Valley Communities
Host: Carol MacAllister Guests: Cori Steiner, WV Director of Resident Services Alice Pero, WV resident and retired nurse Description: Today, we are talking about suicide with two courageous people whose lives were deeply affected by the suicide of or attempts at suicide by a family member. We talked about what helped them deal with it in the immediate aftermath, what was helpful from others and what wasn’t, what help is available here at Willow Valley, and what help can be found in communities all over this country. Suicide is a hard topic to talk about, and yet talking about it is precisely what helps. The WV Social Workers are putting on a week-long program about suicide, why it is okay to talk about it, and why it is so important to bring it out of the shadows. Notices about their programming will be placed in your mailboxes. Attend the annual WV Health Expo and find the tables with more information.
