Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

One of the most devastating events that can happen to a person is to lose a loved one to suicide. There’s been a lot of attention to the topic, but the rate of suicide has increased by 30% in the last 20 years. Why is that? What can we do to stop losing those we love to this hopeless act? Today we’ll talk with Genevieve Garret, LCSW at the Center for the Advancement of Youth at the University of Mississippi Medical Center about warning signs and how to take action.
