Let's Talk About Suicide Prevention
Suicide is a major public health concern. Over 45,900 people die by suicide each year in the United States; it is the 12th leading cause of death overall. Suicide is complicated and tragic, but it is often preventable. For more information on suicide prevention, visit our health topic page or download our brochures.
Help raise awareness by sharing resources that help others recognize the warning signs for suicide and know how to get help.
