The challenge that we face in preventing suicide is that we don't hear about it and that we don't talk about it.
Imagine a world where talking about suicide isn't taboo, but a conversation that can save lives. That's the mission of Ken Norton, a licensed clinical social worker and Director of the Center For Community Based Suicide Prevention. In this heartfelt episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', Ken sits down with host Mary Woods to share his extensive experience in suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention.
Ken's work has been instrumental in shaping New Hampshire's state Suicide Prevention Plan and establishing the state's Suicide Prevention Council. His personal experiences with mental illness and suicide within his own family have fueled his dedication to reducing stigma and encouraging early recognition and treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice, from understanding risk factors and statistics to learning how to talk about suicide in a way that promotes healing.
Ken and Mary also delve into the crucial role media plays in suicide prevention, offering insights on how responsible reporting can make a difference. Whether you're looking to support someone struggling with suicidal thoughts or seeking to educate yourself on this critical issue, this episode provides compassionate guidance and actionable steps. Tune in for a deeply informative discussion that could help you make a positive impact in someone's life.
