Suicide Prevention and Awareness Run

2.3 million American adults seriously thought about suicide, 3.5 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.7 million attempted suicide

Suicide is a serious and heartbreaking issue that affects people of all ages, genders, races and backgrounds. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 800,000 people die from suicide each year – making it one of the leading causes of death around the world. The most common reason for suicidal thoughts or actions is depression; however, there are many other factors that can lead someone down this path. It’s important to understand why someone may be feeling suicidal in order to help them get through their difficult time. By recognizing signs of distress and providing support during these times, we can work together towards preventing suicide.
