Ep 149: Why We’re Getting Suicide Prevention Wrong, and How to Fix It with Rob Bogue


Season 6 Episode 17


Rob Bogue of Robust Futures and SuicideMyths.org joins Jake and Mike to challenge some of the most deeply ingrained beliefs in suicide prevention. From questioning the predictive power of warning signs and screening tools to highlighting the harmful consequences of forced hospitalization and red flag laws, this conversation peels back the layers of a flawed system.

Rob shares the personal story that drove him to launch Suicide Myths—a growing library of evidence-backed debunkings—and discusses the importance of trauma processing, the limits of behavioral intervention, and how meaning and emotional functioning must return to the center of mental health care. The crew also explores real-life solutions like providing mental health resource sheets with legal documents and building practical firearm storage education.
