Today on Lake Effect, we focus on mental health. A psychologist joins us to debunk some common myths about suicide. A Milwaukee creative shares her experience after losing her mother to suicide. We hear from the wife of a former investigative reporter who died by suicide. Plus, we examine some artifacts left over from Milwaukee’s past mental health care facilities.
