Description

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), suicide rates in the United States have witnessed a staggering 36% increase over the past 20 years. To put it into perspective, approximately one person dies by suicide every 11 minutes, amounting to a devastating loss of life. Furthermore, the CDC estimates that a staggering 12.3 million individuals seriously contemplate suicide each year. These numbers underscore the urgent need for collective action and a deeper understanding of this crisis. We will delve deeper into understanding the risk factors, behaviors, and mood states associated with elevated suicide risk. We will explore methods to develop and implement suicide screenings and risk reduction strategies in different settings, such as schools, treatment centers, and clinics. Additionally, we will learn effective ways to ask and intervene during a suicidal crisis, develop safety planning techniques for individuals and their families, and explore available resources to support loss survivors of suicide. Let us begin our journey towards empowering communities and saving lives.
