Strike a Chord: Teen Suicide Prevention
We're looking at teen suicide prevention efforts as part of WFUV's Strike a Chord campaign.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth between the ages of 10 and 24. It results in about 4,600 lives lost each year.
On this special Strike a Chord program, WFUV's George Bodarky hosts a panel discussion at the BronxNet television studios at Lehman College. This program features the following suicide prevention experts:
- Dr. Rosa Gil, Executive Director of Communal Life and the organization Life is Precious
- Jill Harkavy Friedman, Vice President of Research at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
- Allyee Whaley, Crisis Services Coordinator at the Trevor Project
You can watch the video of the program here.
