Abderhalden, the suicidologist, said seeing suicide, or being exposed to it, can increase a person’s risk for suicide even if they hadn’t previously had suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

“Loneliness, boredom and hopelessness are all tied into those two policies of visitation and programming,” Abderhalden said.
