Synopsis
Stay Alive offers education and guidance on the important subject of mental health and suicide prevention, as well as compassion and caring for those who are suffering, and their loved ones. The conversation is driven by Dr. Mark Goulston, MD, a psychiatrist with a specialty in suicide prevention. Suicide has become an epidemic: The U.S. suicide rate jumped some 30% between 2000 to 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The reasons cited are complex but include everything from family fragmentation and social media overexposure to political polarization, and even the horrific opioid epidemic. Suicide is the epidemic no one is discussing but should be. Goulston, along with suicide survivor Kevin Hines and pop star/suicide prevention advocate Rayko, sat down for a dialog they hope will be a catalyst for more conversations about and with those at risk.
