This morning on Breakfast With Bridgett, a licensed counselor talked about the importance of Suicide Prevention Awareness this month.
Dr. Treshonda Baucom of Enriched Life Counseling & Consulting joined Bridgett to discuss sobering statistics and warning signs, plus resources that can save lives.
In 2022, researchers found that 13 million people suffered from suicidal thoughts. In fact, it’s the second leading cause of death among 10-34-year-olds.
Dr. Baucom says it’s important to watch out for warning signs and check in with people who might be struggling and ask specific questions.
