First Day of National Suicide Prevention Month

Suicide is a national public health crisis. It is a leading cause of death in the United States, ranking as 10th among adult causes of death and 2nd among individuals age 15-34. It’s estimated that more than 9 million people experience thoughts of suicide each year.

We can all take action to prevent suicide and provide support to those who need it.

Throughout September, Southside Wellness Coalition will share resources to help individuals find help for themselves or someone they know, potentially saving lives.

For more information, visit askingsaves.org or suicidepreventionlifeline.org.

Learn about mental health services through Southside Behavioral Health.

If you or someone you love needs help right away, call Southside Behavioral Health’s emergency services line at 833.377.7272 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800.276.8255.
