Eleven children have taken their lives this year in Franklin County, setting a new devastating record. Mental health experts say this should be a wake-up call, but finding a solution is no easy task. This hour we'll talk about what the county is doing to prevent youth suicide, and we'll discuss ways that survivors and those with depression can find support.
