Where We Live

Talking about suicide is hard, so we asked experts for their advice


Listen Later

A content warning to our listeners: today we will be talking about suicide.

September is Suicide Prevention Month. United States saw nearly 50,000 deaths by suicide in 2022, and suicide continues to be on the rise.

Talking openly about suicide and mental health can be a critical part of deterring suicide deaths. But having those discussions can be really challenging and experts say there are specific ways to conduct these conversations delicately.

Later, we hear from Connecticut Urgent Crisis Centers.

If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can go online to 988lifeline.orgor dial 9-8-8.

  • Aneri Pattani: Senior Correspondent for KFF Health News
  • Ann Dagle: President and Co-founder of the Brian Dagle Foundation and Tri-chair of Connecticut Suicide Advisory Board
  • Dr Laine Taylor: Medical Director for The Village for Families and Children
