Curry Café: Suicide Prevention and Community Care

In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rick McNamer speak with Coastal Home Health & Hospice board member Cecelia Swick about her personal experience and research on suicide. They discuss risk factors, warning signs of suicidal ideation, the impact of bullying and isolation, and challenges faced by seniors. The conversation also covers resources like the 988 hotline, the role of therapy and support systems, assisted suicide laws, and community organizations like Coastal Home Health and Hospice. We encourage anyone with differing views to participate in future Curry Café discussions. If you would like to join the panel, email contact@kciw.org or call 541-661-4098.
