Promoting Hope, Preventing Suicide

Written from both personal and professional perspectives, Promoting Hope, Preventing Suicide explores suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention.  Often using current events as starting points, this blog poses questions about what could be done better or differently, what contributions research can make to practice, and challenges and opportunities inherent in new technologies.  This blog is a forum for new looks at old ideas and encourages challenging dogma.
