Dr. Laura Shannonhouse, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at Georgia State University. In this interview, we talk about the results from her latest research regarding suicide among older adults. She wanted to know if a small dose of sincere connection would improve mental health outcomes in this population and the findings are shared with us in this conversation.
This interview is part of a series that covers the American Association of Suicidology's conference, which is taking place in Portland, Oregon, throughout this week. Every day, I will be posting one or more episodes on topics related to suicide prevention and postvention.
