Suicide: Surviving Crisis (2017)

Survivors of suicide attempts and family members hurt by loss tell their stories of the grim and growing problem in Sandusky and Ottawa counties.

In The News-Messenger's documentary by photojournalist Molly Corfman, suicide and mental health issues are explored through the eyes of the people who have survived it. Go in-depth with first responders who have become the caretakers of people in crisis from a mental illness. Explore the outcome of when someone calls the crisis hotline. Examine suicide from the stigma to the religious perspective.
