Preventing Suicide
The isolation, unemployment, and emotional stress that COVID-19 has brought into our lives may be adding to the number of suicides--at a time when it’s even more difficult to identify the risk factors.
Health Matters talks to local mental health experts on how to recognize the warning signs that someone may be suicidal and how to help them.
