You can now listen to the latest episode of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Ask Dr. Jill podcast, "Can Suicide Actually Be Prevented?" Ask Dr. Jill is a podcast series in which AFSP Senior Vice President of Research Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman answers real mental health questions with the latest scientific research and help from fellow experts in the field.
When Dr. Jill started researching suicide 40 years ago, the consensus in the scientific community was that suicide could not be prevented. Now we know that this is false. In this episode, Dr. Jill and AFSP Senior Manager of Research and Dissemination Chris Munden discuss some of the research that has shown suicide may be prevented, at least sometimes, and they also share some of the practical methods that may help someone in a crisis.
