Managing talk about suicide
The data for this session are two audio recordings of calls to a mental health charity helpline based in the UK. In the extracts, callers talk about having suicidal thoughts and ways of committing suicide. In one extract the caller seemingly ends the call prematurely. I’m particularly interested in how suicidal talk is managed by call-takers, although all analytic insights would be very welcome.
