Last Friday afternoon I was among more than two dozen people discussing the issue in a meeting at Davidson Town Hall. It included community leaders, mental health professionals, educators, clergy, students and parents – all concerned about a string of suicides at in recent years among local high school students – the most recent a 16-year-old W.A.
