In the time of Covid-19, physical distancing (sometimes called social distancing) is necessary to flatten the coronavirus curve--but there is a danger to it as well, as populations most vulnerable to isolation are left in possible crisis.

So, how do we talk to the people we love--and to ourselves--about suicide? How do we protect ourselves and others? What are steps we can take, right now, even from home, that may save a life? To find out, host JJ is joined by Dr. Jonathan Singer, President of the  American Association of Suicidology  and Colleen Creighton, Chief Executive Officer of the American Association of Suicidology.
