In The End

It's an iconic, breathtaking marvel of modern engineering. It's also been an incredibly popular spot to jump to one's death basically since it opened. Today we're taking a surprisingly thorough dive into the history of suicide and The Golden Gate Bridge.  If you're interested in an even more thorough history on the topic, might we suggest the book The Final Leap: Suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge by Jason Bateson (2012). Although many of our topics can get morbid, we recognize that suicide can be especially difficult for some listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling, please know there are resources out there to help. United States: The National Suicide Hotline (1-800-273-8255) is available 24/7 for crisis intervention and to help you find resources near you. They are also available on live chat (suicidepreventionlifeline.org). Canada: Crisis Services Canada is available 24/7 for phone, text, or online chats to help you through a crisis or connect you with resources near you. (crisisservicescanada.c
