The Bay

The Golden Gate Bridge’s Suicide Prevention Net


Listen Later

If you or someone you know may be considering suicide or is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

This summer, activists and families of people who have lost loved ones to suicide commemorated the official completion of a stainless steel safety net under the Golden Gate Bridge.

Back in January, KQED’s Lesley McClurg told us the story of how family members advocated for this addition to the bridge.
