Join us this Thursday, October 17, at 3 p.m. ET for a new episode of Ask Dr. Jill!
Just last week, the results of a new Harris Poll were released, with eye-opening detail about public perception of mental health and suicide. In a new episode of Ask Dr. Jill, AFSP Senior Vice President of Research Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman will be joined by Executive Director of the Suicide Prevention Resource Center Shelby Rowe. Their discussion will address the following questions:
Has the public’s understanding of suicide changed over the years? If so, how?
Do most people believe suicide can be prevented?
Are there specific ways in which public understanding needs to increase?
What did the Harris Poll reveal about the hesitations people have in seeking help?
How can we all help increase understanding of mental health and how to be there for each other?
Do different cultural groups have different levels of understanding of mental health?
How many people have a personal connection to suicide? Do most people know someone who’s been affected?
Do most people feel they know what to do to help someone who’s struggling?
Make sure to tune in this Thursday, October 17, 3 p.m. ET on Facebook. We can't wait to have you there!
