Topical Currents

Suicide Prevention with Experts from the Switchboard of Miami

www.facebook.com/switchboardmiami

09/22/15 - Many of us have received the horrid news that a family member, friend or co-worker has made the ultimate decision to end their life.  Despair and depression are frequent causes.  On Tuesday’s Topical Currents we look into suicide prevention with experts from the Switchboard of Miami. We’ll have statistics, triggers and how a death might be avoided. Worldwide, suicide is the tenth most common cause of death. Of course, we’ll take listeners calls.  That’s Topical Currents . . . Tuesday at 1pm.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
