Did you know that September is suicide prevention month? Did you also know that electricians and linemen, for example, are reported to be five times more likely to die by their own hands than from a physical injury on the job? These men and women are taking their own lives at unprecedented levels, somewhere between 52.1 and 68 per 100,000. Tim and John talk with Tom Murphy, director and founder, Sweethearts & Heroes, an organization which aims to prevent hopelessness, bullying and suicide by providing dynamic, inspiring content that centers on the human interaction skills necessary for organizations to change all aspects of their culture, such as empathy, compassion and teamwork.
