When a suicide occurs in a community YSPP is often quoted in media reports. We consider each media report an opportunity to educate the public about prevention.
Stories about suicide can inform readers and viewers about the likely causes of suicide, its warning signs, trends in suicide rates, recent treatment advances and local crisis resources. They can also highlight opportunities to prevent suicide.
YSPP Director Sue Eastgard is available for interviews.
