The Importance of Suicide Prevention

September is Suicide Prevention Month. Jamie Hodgins joins us to discuss why people consider suicide, identifying warning signs and risk factors and the importance of speaking up. 
The more we can do to help make people feel comfortable in situations to help offer support, the more likely we're able to prevent suicides from occurring.
This September, LifeStance Health Foundation has pledged to match dollar for dollar to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and its life-saving mission, up to $50,000.
