Suicide Prevention - Kim Ellingson, LMHC

In this episode Kimberly Ellington, LMHC joins us to talk about suicide prevention.  Kimberly is a licensed mental health counselor at MercyOne.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, but it is preventable!  What are signs that someone is in crisis? What resources are available if you or someone you know are at risk?

The National Suicide Hotline is 1-800-273-8255 (TALK)

We're happy to partner with Iowa's Healthiest State Initiative and the Make It OK campaign to bring you this content! It's OK to have a mental illness - many people do. It's OK to talk about mental illness - talking makes people feel less alone. It's OK to seek help with mental illness - life can get better.
