Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman, PhD, the vice president of research for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, discusses what may be behind this rise, how psychologists and other researchers are developing interventions to help those at risk, and what you can do if you\u2019re worried about someone in your life.\xa0\n Are you enjoying Speaking of Psychology?
