A content warning to our listeners: today we will be talking about suicide.

United States saw US-Suicide-Deaths-2022.html#:~:text=The%20provisional%20estimates%20released%20today,an%20increase%20of%20approximately%202.6%25.">nearly 50,000 deaths by suicide in 2022, and suicide continues to be on the rise. 

Talking openly about suicide and mental health can be a critical part of deterring suicide deaths. But having those discussions can be really challenging and experts say there are specific ways to conduct these conversations delicately.

Later, we hear from Connecticut Urgent Crisis Centers.

If you are struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can go online to 988lifeline.org or dial 9-8-8.
