Good Morning Rancho Talks About Suicide Prevention

While the holidays are a joyous time for many people, they can also be a source of depression and dark thoughts for others. The online video program Good Morning Rancho (of which I am the host), put together two videos talking about the subject. In the first video I talk to local businessman James Gabbriellini of AV Home Pro who has a real passion for the community and those that suffer, he is working on some suicide prevention initiatives currently and has been personally helping people. That video can be found here.

In the second video, the program has put together some beautiful drone footage of the bridge to provide a sense of the height and scope of the bridge. If you aren't familiar with the area, it is very easy to drive across the bridge and not realize it is a bridge, as there is no signage indicating it is a bridge. At least two (possibly three) of the nine deaths on the bridge since 2000 have been accidents from people not realizing there was no ground close at hand in the center gap when they jumped over and tragically fell to their deaths. The video voice over provides some details and perspectives and information about reasonable measures that can be taken. That second video can be found here.
