With shortage of mental health workers, Chicago trains the public to try to prevent suicide – WBEZ (Chicago)

The Chicago Department of Public Health is training city workers and residents who live in neighborhoods with the highest suicide rates on how to spot the signs of suicide risk, including Mount Greenwood, Calumet Heights and Norwood Park. Some of these areas are home to high numbers of city workers, including police officers and other frontline workers who are exposed to repeated trauma, said Chicago Public Health Commissioner Dr. Simbo Ige.
