Suicide prevention is everyone’s business and anyone can participate in National Suicide Prevention Week.
Suicide is a serious public health problem that takes an enormous toll on families, friends, classmates, co-workers, and communities, as well as on our military personnel and veterans. 41,149 Americans took their lives in 2013, the most recent year for which full data are available. Suicide accounted for 12.6 deaths for every 100,000 people nationwide, making it the country’s 10th leading cause of death. Unlike many other leading causes of death, suicide continues to claim more lives each year.
Uncovering the reason for an individual suicide death is complex and challenging. But starting a conversation about can begin to heal all wounds.
No matter what problems you are dealing with, there are also hotlines designed to help you find a reason to keep living.
