Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth. This is a tough topic, but we all need to know the warning signs and how to help.
If you know someone in crisis, have them call 911 or reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or the Crisis Text Line – text START to 741-741. Both resources will connect you with a trained counselor.
