Seeing the Signs of Suicide

1m 55s

Explore the powerful stories of those impacted by suicide--one of America's most urgent health crises - and journey to the front lines of research with scientists whose work is leading to better prevention and treatment. Shining a light on this difficult topic can destigmatize suicide while revealing that there is help as well as hope for those at risk and their loved ones.

FACING SUICIDE was produced for Twin Cities PBS (TPT) & PBS by Barrat Media, 1904 Media and JWM Productions. Major support is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Margaret A. Cargill Foundation Fund of the Minneapolis Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts.
