Invisible Suicide Prevention Week

This is Suicide Prevention Week, and tomorrow is Suicide Prevention Day.  Who knew? Have you seen any publicity about this important work?  I sure haven’t.

That begs a question: Why has suicide prevention become almost invisible?  Part of the blame goes to the corrosive impact of the assisted suicide movement.  But the suicide prevention community itself must shoulder part of the blame because it has remained generally silent about the issue.  I provide details over at Secondhand Smoke .
