Abstract
In observance of National Suicide Prevention Month in September (also known as Suicide Awareness Month), Facing Suicide, a new documentary and impact campaign from Twin Cities PBS that tells the stories of Americans impacted by suicide and shares insights from the medical and scientific researchers who are working to help people at risk, will premiere Sept. 13 on PBS nationwide, a news release stated. The documentary will introduce viewers to a diverse group of Americans who have been affected by suicide, including high school basketball champions on a Native American reservation in Montana who responded to the suicide crisis in their community with a prevention campaign that went viral, the wife of a Midwestern farmer who is determined that she and her children will live a full and hopeful life after her husband's death, and a Black woman in Charlotte, North Carolina who overcame her own mental health challenges to become a suicide prevention advocate. The film also features leading scientists, practitioners, and innovative thinkers whose discoveries in neuroscience, genetics, psychology and other fields have revealed the true nature of the problem as well as promising solutions. National outreach partners for the Facing Suicide project include the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, The Jed Foundation, and Suicide Awareness Voices of Education.
