Suicide. It's a word we don't hear in polite conversation and it's a topic we don't like to discuss. The problem is, stigma and silence increase risk for suicide.

And, more importantly, education and awareness help to prevent suicide. Schools, college campuses and communities all over the country are finding ways to talk about suicide and suicide prevention.

Are you:
o In crisis?
o Worried about someone?
o Researching the topic?
o Interested in suicide prevention training?

Suicide is often preventable. Find out more.
You can make a difference.
