Talking about suicide is never easy, but it's crucial. In this episode of Writing on the Walls, host Rob Hlavaty sits down with Dr. Doreen Marshall, a clinical psychologist and Vice President of Mission Engagement for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Dr. Marshall brings a deeply personal perspective to the conversation, having lost her fiancé to suicide in 1995.
She shares how this tragedy shaped her career and led her to her current role, where she champions suicide prevention and awareness. They discuss the vital need for training schools on both prevention and postvention, highlighting a toolkit Dr. Marshall helped develop for this purpose. Social media's double-edged sword in suicide communication also comes under scrutiny, along with practical advice on engaging with someone experiencing suicidal thoughts. Dr.
Marshall's empathy and dedication shine through, making this episode a compelling listen for anyone touched by or interested in suicide prevention.
