(Summit Pointe Ep 5) Target: Zero Deaths By Suicide (You Can Help)

""

Episode 5 in the Summit Pointe Series is devoted to highlighting the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Calhoun County. Working closely with Summit Pointe, suicide prevention experts are working to educate the community on how they can help prevent the incidence of suicide in their community. You might also be surprised to hear, lacking community training, how most of us react when faced with the potential that a loved one might be suicidal.
