Our Mission

With over 48,000 people dying by suicide in the United States each year, suicide is a leading cause of death and a major, growing public health problem. It doesn’t have to be this way. By raising awareness about the risk factors, warning signs, and treatments for suicidal thoughts and behavior, together, we can put an end to stigma surrounding suicide and reduce the number of people who die by suicide.
