Suicide Prevention and the Legislative Process – Episode 58

NAMI’s National Director of Government Relations, Policy, and Advocacy, Jen Snow, talks with NAMI Greater Los Angeles County Executive Director Traute Winters about suicide prevention. During the holidays, many of us enjoy time with family and friends, but for many others, these can be trying times of increased loneliness. In this episode, listeners will hear a discussion about seasonal depression, suicide prevention, and how we can combat loneliness. This episode also features a discussion about the legislative progress being made in California and an overview of the work it took to get there.
