We have reached episode #50, a milestone for all of us and I chose to address youth suicide because the rates have been rising worldwide - today it is the second leading cause of death in the 15-29 age group. I also have received messages from parents who have kids in crisis, some who have attempted suicide so I decided to provide them with practical tools on how to help.

My guest is Dr. Mark Goulston, an American psychiatrist with thirty years of experience treating suicidal patients, particularly youth. He was a UCLA professor of psychiatry for over 25 years and a former FBI and police hostage negotiation trainer. He has numerous published books and a podcast called “My Wake-up call.”
