In 2020, the U.S. had one death by suicide every 11 minutes. Suicide is a leading cause of death for people aged 10-34 years. Last year, the 988 National Suicide & Crisis Prevention Lifeline was launched. People calling or texting 988 will be connected to trained counselors who are part of the existing Lifeline network. These trained counselors listen to callers, provide support, and connect them to resources as needed.

Mental Health issues impact every family. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration website has information relating to suicide as well as other mental health-related issues.
