Suicide Prevention
Suicide is a major concern in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide was among the top nine leading causes of death for people ages 10–64 and the second leading cause of death for people ages 10–14 and 25–34. The positive news is that with the right information and willingness to reach out to someone in need, we all can help prevent suicide.
