Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the US, claiming approximately of 126 lives per day, totaling 45,979 lives per year (AFSP, 2020). Additionally, in 2020, an estimated 1.20 Million people attempted suicide; yet, this is not a complete count of attempts as many go unreported or untreated (AFSP, 2020). Statistics are alarming. Suicide MUST be stopped.
