Description: A suicide prevention program may be a difficult “sell” in a police agency — especially one where a suicide has not occurred, or where there is an existing stigma about officers seeking the assistance of mental health professionals.

Jim and Doug discuss the ways in which top-quality peer support programs can be built and maintained.
