Addressing Our Unprecedented Suicide Epidemic
National suicide rates have increased 30% in the past two decades, with ages 10-14 and 25-35 showing the highest rates. COVID-19 has contributed to the suicide burden, particularly for Black, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Hispanic males. While it has long been thought that mental illness is the driving factor, recent data for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) suggest that over half of Americans who died by suicide had no previously known mental health issues. Instead, economic, financial, relationship, and addiction problems appear to be fueling the increasing rates. Join us for this important webinar where we’ll discuss what can be done to curb this unprecedented epidemic.
Join us: Saturday, May 28 @ 10:00 – 11:00 am MDT
