Headlines Nationwide Sounding Alarm
Suicide is on the rise. It’s the #2 cause of death for teens and takes more lives in the first responder community than line of duty deaths. In 2018 there were more than 48,000 suicides in the US; an increase of 40% since 1999. Suicide does not discriminate it takes individuals from the strongest families, schools, and communities, including the faith community. Statistically there is no such thing as natural immunity. Apart from a growing awareness of the problem and a concerted effort to address the crisis, the numbers will continue to rise in every community.
For many it is a challenge to believe that they could possibly help someone at risk of suicide. For a few the challenge is in understanding how an individual could ever have thoughts of suicide. For those in crisis, it is coming to the realization that underneath the challenges of life there is still a life worth living.
More than 21,000 individuals have taken the Challenge to gain the skills that save lives. From the retired school teacher who said now I have a voice to make a difference to the Veteran spouse who took her pain of loss and has turned it into a passion and a purpose to save others. You too have incredible power to make a difference. Be part of the movement. Help others in their time of need. The seed of hope is most often planted by one caring person willing to Listen Learn and Lead.
