World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention Day

Saturday, September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day. The World Health Organization estimates more than 800,000 people die by suicide each year - that's one person every 40 seconds taking their own life. Yehudit Silverman, associate professor in the Department of Creative Arts Therapies, can discuss the enduring taboo surrounding suicide and its long term effects on communities.
