Preventing Suicide

"Karen Mason's Preventing Suicide: A Handbook for Pastors, Chaplains and Pastoral Counselors is exactly what it claims, which means church offices or libraries without a copy should get one. . . . Mason writes well . . . and shatters numerous suicide myths. . . . Mason offers good specifics on how to help someone in a suicide crisis and help those who survive suicide attempts."

"Whether you are a Christian who works in the medical field or the faith community, this handbook will equip you to the degree you want to be equipped. It is a deep dive into a difficult subject and offers the kind of help we all would want to have when confronting this moment in our own lives or in the lives of people we pastor or care about."
