Bravo Will Air Suicide-Prevention PSA's

picktainment.com
The upcoming season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills might be the most anticipated season of the franchise to date with so much swirling around the national news and blogosphere regarding the recent death of Russell Armstrong. While the series is sure to be controversial, Bravo is doing its best to handle it with care.

Beginning with the premiere episode Bravo will air an interview with some of the cast members, and what's more, the New York Times is reporting that there will be public service announcements throughout the season connecting viewers with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The Real Housewives cast members have often used the show's platform to promote charities, and this seems like a rather fitting approach. NYTimes stated, "The public service announcements are a result of a partnership with the Entertainment Industries Council Inc., which promotes accurate depictions of health and wellness issues in the entertainment media."
