WRVO's Julia Botero speaks to Timothy Ruetten from the Jefferson County Community Services Office about a coalition of mental health agencies, school officials and nonprofits that work together to make sure they're up to date on the best ways to reduce and prevent suicides in Jefferson County.
The National Suicide Prevention hotline is 1-800-273-TALK. Timothy Ruetten heads the Jefferson County Suicide Prevention Coalition.
