SUICIDE FACTS AND WARNING SIGNS

ABOUT SUICIDE IN THE UNITED STATES

Suicide is a problem that cuts through every culture, every race, every social class and income level. It is the eleventh leading cause of death in the US, and the third leading cause of death for youth between the ages of 15 and 24 (AAS). Every 15.2 minutes, someone will end their life by suicide.

Over the past 40 years, researchers have been looking the warning signs of someone at risk of suicide and what helps a person at risk. It is clear that therapy, in conjunction with medical treatment, offers hope and help to many.
