Extra Edition: Rise in Suicides (Program Repeat.)
While the US suicide rates are falling, more and more Latino men are dying by suicide. Also, more children are feeling thoughts of suicide due to instances of family instability such as divorce, parent depression, substance abuse or school disruption, stressors that have worsened during the pandemic. What are the risks of suicide among younger children and teens? How to detect signs of mental distress? How to support kids going through mental health challenges? How to self-care?
Guests: Dr. Lorraine Viade, Clinical Psychologist, Los Angeles County Mental Health Department, Los Angeles, CA; Dr. Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, Director, Center for Reducing Health Disparities, UC Davis, Davis, CA.
