Suicide Prevention Seminar

Springtime Means More Depression and Suicide

There are 32,000 people in the U.S. each year for whom life is so excruciating that killing themselves seems like the only way out. The number has grown steadily for 30 years, and Spring is when the most suicides occur.

Each of us can help prevent suicide by understanding why it happens, learning practical prevention tips and getting information on local resources.

Trident United Way’s 2-1-1 Hotline presents Break the Silence: Understanding and Preventing Suicide at 6:00 p.m. on Thurs. June 12 at Trident Health Finders in the Northwoods Mall.

The program features a panel of people who will share their personal experiences and trainers with information on current research about suicide risk assessments.

Where there is help, there is hope. Call 797-FIND to R.S.V.P.
