I am unimpressed.
Ramirez outlined a series of key recent and ongoing initiatives intended to address the issue. But critics who think the service needs to improve its suicide prevention initiatives point to broken links, disabled hotlines, and difficulty tracking down intervention points of contact when individuals express suicidal intentions online. Overall, critics are concerned that big ideas need to be executed better on the ground.

Before I was kicked out and forced to retire (I turned 60, it was age discrimination).
We were told we had to do Bi-Annual training. One of those classes was Suicide intervention. I’d always hear the same thing said over and over, in jest of course. “If I’ve got to sit through another suicide class, I might commit suicide.
Many things said in jest are unfortunately true.

It seems like all they ever do it create more study groups and nothing ever is done to actually address any problems in the system.
