PREMIUM EPISODE 3: Homicide, suicide and the realities of the mental health crisis The Letter Season 2: Ripple Effect
-
- Crimes verídicos
In episode three of The Letter, we learned that 19-year-old Jorge Benvenuto drove to the reservoir to end his own life. Instead, he opened fire on Yvette Rodier and Zachary Snarr - two teens he'd never met. To help us make sense out of this, host Amy Donaldson talks with psychologist and professor Dr. Matt Woolley. In this discussion, they talk about recognizing the signs that someone may be suicidal, the links between homicide and suicide, and what we can do - not just to respond to mental health crises - but to try and prevent them.
