Folks, it's been a tough week. The deaths of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain by suicide filled the headlines, and the CDC released a new report that suicide rates have been rising across the Unites States. As a result, I wanted to rebroadcast this episode from last year on Suicide Prevention for new listeners or long-time listeners who might find it helpful again. I'll also rebroadcast a bonus episode I did on Suicide Prevention resources later this week, so keep an eye out for that. Here's some new notes, followed by the original show notes from this episode: - The Jedi Counsel episode I mention in the intro and a list of resources they put together. This episode of CXMH is brought to you by Stigma Fighters. Learn more at StigmaFighters.com. Quotes:- "If somebody's thinking 'I don't know anybody that has struggled with depression or eating disorders or self-harming behavior,' you should probably get to know folks in your community better." (tweet)- "If you don't think somebody in your community is suicidal, you're missing it. They're just not telling you." (tweet) This week, we have two Doctors in the house!
