Description

With Ryan Duffy, treasurer and communications committee chair for the Michigan Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Marianne Huff, LMSW, President and CEO of the Mental Health Association in Michigan.

This presentation from the Michigan Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention gives research-based recommendations for broadcasters and journalists to report on suicide and incidents of suicide in the headlines.
