Dr. Hatim Omar Show

Health Matters Radio Show

Health Matters Radio Show

Dr. Omar has developed a successful suicide intervention program at the University of Kentucky by targeting all aspects of a teenager’s life, not just the suicide. This very opinionated guest feels that interventions that just target drunken-driving, teenage pregnancy, etc. will fail in the long term because they do not address the underlying issues that lead to the behavior. It makes for a very interesting conversation, and a better-than-average show.

Tip:  Some teenage suicides are impulsive. Do not give your teenager the chance to act out on impulse. Keep the guns locked and keep the ammunition separate.
