An important discussion on suicide prevention
This is an important conversation with Sharon Gentry, Tri-Cities District Director and Licensed Mental Health Counselor. In conjunction with National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, I asked Sharon to share with us three things we can learn about the signs of suicide, how to help those who are struggling and how we can all practice good self-care when our lives "boil over." Let's all take 10 minutes to learn from Sharon.
