HBO documentary, Crisis Hotline: Veterans Press 1, takes us past - TopicsExpress



          

HBO documentary, Crisis Hotline: Veterans Press 1, takes us past the cubicles and down the hallways at the Veterans Crisis Line Center based in Canandaigua, N.Y. There, you hear the piercing ring of telephone and catch snippets of conversations with the first responders trying to nudge that suicide rate down: “Thank you for calling the Veterans Crisis Line, my name is Lewis. How can I help you?” “… I know you said you have a knife nearby you. Do you agree to not use that knife while I put you on hold?” “… What you’re telling me is that people have to do something drastic before they get help.” Responders answer calls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
