About this listen
According to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2021 and 2022, people ages 75 and older had the highest suicide rate among all age groups. The data also reveals the rate was largely driven by males. First, for “Closer Look’s” National Suicide Prevention and Awareness series, host Rose Scott talked with Amanda Krisher, the associate director of behavioral health at the National Council on Aging. Krisher dispelled myths about aging and suicide. She also talked about the importance of listening and asking questions to address the mental health needs of older adults.
Plus, data from Moodle and Censuswide shows 66% of employees are experiencing burnout. Scott talks with Georgia Wolfe-Samuel, a longtime CPA, now restaurateur and career burnout prevention specialist. Also part of the conversation, Mayra Richards, the CEO and founder of Remain Connected Counseling. They addressed career burnout and ways to address it. Wolfe-Samuel added her own story about overcoming career burnout, suicidal ideation and using her experiences to help others.
