BUILDING HEALTHY FAMILIES: Several common medical conditions are
associated with increased risk of depression and suicide including chronic pain,
recent heart attack and cancer. If you know someone who has had or is currently
suffering from one of these conditions, make a point to check in with them. Talk
openly about how they are doing emotionally as well as physically. Pray with
them, listen to them, and keep in frequent contact with them. Call an LFS
counselor to consult if you are concerned about their risk for depression or
suicide. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa, 4301 Sgt. Rd., Suite 203, 276-9000,
