September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. September 17th is Physician Suicide Awareness Day.
In recognition, Tressa talks with some folks who are doing their part to help prevent suicide in our region. First is Sara Hussey, Executive Director of Allegheny County Medical Society who shares information about their "Putting the Self-Care in Healthcare" initiative, followed by Alisa & Todd Whysong, creators of The Positive Painting Project, who lost their 15-year old daughter, Katie, to suicide in 2019.
