Suicide

Long-term stressors, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, can test our bodies’ ability to manage stress effectively.

Each year, between 140,000 and 150,000 lives are lost to suicide in the United States, leaving families and friends to negotiate the landscape of grief. Depression and suicide know no gender, cultural, or economic boundaries. Suicide affects people of all ages and lifestyles, even young people, and its effects on family and community are devastating.
