September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.

  • Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States.
  • In 2021, there were 48,183 Americans that died by suicide.
  • In 2021, there were an estimated 1.70 Million suicide attempts.
  • On average there are 132 suicide per day.

Imagine if we could walk together toward a world without suicide. One in which we all have a greater understanding of mental health. One in which we all know how to be there for each other, including ourselves, when someone is struggling.

Together we can make a difference and break the stigmas around mental health, helping to prevent another person from taking their own life. Suicide prevention starts with all of us.
