INDIANAPOLIS – Suicide kills more people than some of the most common causes of death one can think of. Sadly, suicide rates are on the rise, and the pandemic is likely to blame.
By better understanding the risks, and equipping family members, friends and co-workers with the knowledge to intervene, it is possible to save lives.
FOX59 spoke with Kelly Posner Gerstenhaber, Ph.D and Keita Franklin, both with Columbia University. They spoke about the Columbia-suicide severity rating scale and how it can help save lives.
