Conversations that Matter: Teen Suicide in Alaska
Suicide is difficult to talk about. But often, the conversations most worth having are the hardest to tackle.
Suicide can close us off from one another. It can divide a family and an entire community. And the suicide problem has reached a level of epidemic in Alaska. With Conversations that Matter, we hope to take the first steps toward opening up about suicide by beginning a statewide dialogue on this important issue.
