Families in Action: May 11, 2015
It is both alarming and painfully true that 1,100 college students commit suicide on campuses across the country. Larry and Michael join Bob and Cary in the studio to discuss the options and professional help available to people struggling with mental health issues as we continue to discuss the importance of Mental Health Awareness Month and suicide prevention. Additionally, 19 million people suffer from clinical depression (yet only half seek help). What is one of the main reasons people don’t seek out treatment? Viewing depression as a personal weakness. It’s imperative we change the perception of mental health illnesses, because we are losing lives to this every day.
