Week 5 - Living with Loss: Playing the Hand You Are Dealt series

When a suicide occurs in a community, it is often difficult to talk about.  We are never sure what to say or how to approach the family and we probably never consider all the lives that are touched by the loss of that one person.  On this episode of Talking FACS, Mindy McCulley sits down with Dr. Julie Cerel and Dr. Kerri Ashurst to discuss the impacts of suicide exposure, not just on a family, but on the community as a whole.  They share the importance of talking about the significant life that was lost.
