Faith and Suicide Prevention with Glen Bloomstrom

Keeping with the life, times, and interests of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Rob Schenck talks with Glen Bloomstrom of LivingWorks Suicide Prevention Centre about a critical subject that touched Bonhoeffer personally. Bloomstrom discusses how suicide has historically been dealt with and how faith leaders can thoughtfully and sensitively approach the topic. He tells us that faith leaders are significantly underprepared to deal with suicide in their communities and how LivingWorks’ training and simulations are helping fix that.
