Suicide is difficult to discuss, but it’s an important conversation that needs to be had. Jon Bormann is a Therapist with Senior Life Solutions at Taylorville Memorial Hospital and Chaplain at the 183rd Air Guard Wing and Bormann says that we need to be proactive when it comes to preventing suicide.

At the 183rd Bormann helped put together a program to help those individuals in leadership positions recognize the warning signs of suicide. 

Another important factor, according to Bormann when it comes to preventing suicide is being willing to share your own personal challenges and struggles. 

There are so many things that can be done to help those who are contemplating suicide, according to Bormann.  

Jon Bormann was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
