Guns and suicide - Starting a conversation as we all respond to the presidential election

by Michael D. Anestis, Ph.D.

 

Today has been a tough day for me.  I respect that, for some of you, perhaps it has been a joyous one.  I don't anticipate that either side will change the other's opinion today, but that's not my goal here.  My goal is to channel some distress and use it to be productive.  How do I plan to do that?  By starting a productive conversation about guns and suicide in America.  This short video is far from comprehensive, but it provides an overview of the issue and, hopefully, will prompt some productive thoughts and questions.
