Jerry and Elsie Weyrauch estimate from national statistics that about 480 ELCA members die by suicide each year.
The ELCA couple lost a 34-year-old physician daughter to suicide 25 years ago. Since then their volunteer-run suicide prevention ministry has raised the issue to a national level.
Telling Secrets: A Path to Abundant Living is a five-DVD educational series from their volunteer-run ministry.
Developed out of a 2010 educational course at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection in Marietta, Ga., the series shares personal experiences of families affected by mental illness, alcoholism and suicide.
