Editor’s note: Death by suicide is a public health issue, and it is the Vail Daily’s intention to raise awareness in a responsible manner and encourage those who are at risk to seek help.
Suicide prevention workers and mental health service providers in Eagle County are asking people who have recently lost a loved one to suicide to take a difficult step: Help them to better understand why that person died by suicide through psychological autopsy investigations to help improve community services and programs to prevent future suicides.
Launched by SpeakUp ReachOut and other partners on the Eagle County Psychological Autopsy Cohort, the research initiative is seeking families impacted by suicide within the past two years to participate.
