Su***de prevention is important every day of the year. This month we will raise awareness to risk factors, provide help for those who are struggling and give support to those affected by the su***de of a loved one.
🚨🚨
Su***de is a global health issue. Did you know that someone takes their own life every 40 seconds and one in every 100 deaths is the result of su***de. Su***de impacts all of us.
🚨🚨
There is no single cause for su***de. Su***de most often occurs when stressors and health issues converge to create an experience of hopelessness and despair. You may not know someone directly who has committed su***de, but chances are you know someone who has thought about or contemplated it.
🚨🚨
Talking is the first step. If you or someone you know is struggling, HELP IS AVAILABLE for free 24/7. Text or call 988 or dial 911 and we will get you into contact with someone who can help. Check on your people.
