September is Su***de Prevention Month

Su***de does not discriminate and affects those of every gender, race, ethnicity, upbringing and socio-economic status. It's estimated that more than 44,000 people take their own lives in the United States each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, su***de is the 2nd leading cause of death of individuals ages 10-34, and the 10th leading cause of death overall.

There are multiple risk factors and possible warning signs for su***de. With at-risk individuals, it’s important to ask if the person is thinking about killing themselves. Multiple studies indicate that it does not increase su***des or suicidal thoughts. Reducing access to lethal items (fi****ms, pills) is a part of su***de prevention. Listening and being supportive to an at-risk individual can help reduce suicidal thoughts. Helping an individual connect to trusted individuals, a mental health professional or a spiritual advisor can have a positive impact.

The National Su***de Prevention Hotline is available 24/7 at 800-273-8255 (TALK), Veterans, press 1 after dialing. Also available is the Crisis Text Line at 741741. For a deaf or hearing-impaired individual, they can dial TTY 800-799-4889. It’s important to stay connected to the at-risk individual. In immediate risk situations, calling 911 or going to the local ER are options.

Approaching life with curiosity, instead of negativity, self-criticism or judgment, can lead to a greater sense of peace and happiness. Choose curiosity.
