Suicide in the Modern Age

Broadcast date: 09/27/2016

Suicide in the United States has surged to its highest rate in 30 years. The steepest climb has been in women and those of middle age. It is thought that this sharp increase is directly related to the deep anguish many are feeling in response to a wide variety of stressors, including economic instability, opiate addiction and climate change. Tune in for a conversation about finding something worth living for in an age of despair and disillusionment.

Elizabeth Barrett is a wife, mother, licensed marriage-family therapist, educator, eavesdropper, emotion worker, and mental health consultant. She uses all of these skills to address the subjects that we all struggle with in this conversation with the Reluctant Therapist.
