Su***de is a complex and heartbreaking issue that touches individuals, families, and entire communities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “...su***de is the second-leading cause of death among people aged 10 – 14, 15 – 24, and 25 – 34.” Prevention is a shared responsibility that begins with us.
