Tell Your Elected Officials the Time to End Suicide is NOW!

Suicide is a national public health crisis in the United States and the nation's 10th leading cause of death. Over 47,000 Americans lost their lives to suicide in 2019, and suicide rates continue to rise across the country. The time to act is NOW. We encourage you to email your elected officials to introduce yourself and to share with them the message that suicide prevention MUST be a national priority.
