Suicide Prevention Month
September 2024
September observes Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-14, the 3rd leading cause of death among those aged 15-24, and the 12th leading cause of death overall in the U.S. By sharing stories, educating communities, and promoting open dialogue, we can break down stigmas, offer hope to those struggling, and encourage a more compassionate approach to mental health challenges.
