September is Suicide Prevention Month.  

It is a time to raise awareness of this important crisis. Organizations that work to improve the lives of people impacted by mental illness use this month to shift public perception, spread hope and share important information to people impacted by suicide.

One of the groups is the National Alliance of Mental Health.

Matt Kurdish, the executive director of the New York chapter, spoke with Rocco Vertuccio on “Weekends on 1” Saturday morning.
