Suicide is the most preventable public health crisis. Don’t be afraid to talk about it—talking about suicide doesn’t lead to more suicide, it leads to more important conversations.
– Nathan Biggerstaff, Community Crisis Response Supervisor
Preventing suicide doesn’t always look like explicit conversations—it looks like keeping communities safe, allowing for access to health care and basic needs, and destroying the stigma. Every 43 seconds, we lose someone to suicide (Source: twloha.com) and this loss impacts everyone and cannot be ignored.
Here at One Hope United, we offer around the clock services to help you and your loved ones in crisis. This month is dedicated to recognizing the warning signs for suicide, encouraging open conversations about mental health, and connecting people to proven treatment and resources. When we stand together in strength, dignity, hope, and purpose, we can make a difference—we can help save lives. (Source: samhsa.gov).
