law enforcement suicide prevention

Suicide can affect anyone no matter your age, race, your tax bracket or even the neighborhood you reside. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and we hear at Lakeshore Public Radio wanted to spend the hour speaking with clinicians as well as community members that have been affected by suicide. It’s a time to educate, discuss, as well as a reminder to check in with loved ones.

Today: Chris Prochut , a former Illinois police commander who is now a mental health advocate and suicide prevention trainer, is on “Regionally Speaking” to talk about his personal story of survival.
