Summary:

Veteran suicide is a problem in Alabama. Brandon, who works in public affairs with the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs, faces the daily challenge of finding the proper way to convey the tragic realities of suicide and promote resources to increase prevention. Brandon is a day removed from several media interviews about a current suicide prevention campaign, when he receives a call from a disgruntled father, who is frustrated about one specific quote Brandon gave about veterans' suicide. Now, while on the phone with this father, Brandon must find a way to adequately convey what he said in the interview to a father who knows the impacts of suicide personally. This case encourages students to understand the importance of establishing appropriate, effective talking points and how to respond when faced with difficult conversations regarding sensitive topics.
