Article: "What happens when you try to prevent every single suicide?"

The Henry Ford Clinic has implemented an innovative new program designed to prevent every single suicide among its patients - and it has achieved a certain degree of success.  Given the inadequacies of current suicide-prevention efforts, Henry Ford's program screens all patients for depressive symptoms and aggressively promotes proactive therapy that incorporates safety plans and gets the patient's family on board.  Especially inspiring is the training that therapists receive, which emphasizes that no patient is beyond hope.  Let us keep all those contemplating suicide, along with their family, friends, and health care providers, in our prayers!
