When Life Gets Hard: Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

9/5/2018

People who take their lives don't want to die–
they just want to stop hurting. 

​​World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) is globally observed on September 10th each year in order to provide worldwide awareness, commitment, and action to prevent suicides. Here are some facts:

  • ​An estimated one million people per year die by suicide or about one person in 10,000 (3,000 every day)
​
  • On average, 3 male suicides are completed and reported for every 1 female suicide in almost every country in the world
​
  •  Suicide attempts in women tend to be 2-3 times higher than in men, although the gender gap has narrowed in recent years
​
  • A 2009 U.S. Army report indicates military veterans have double the suicide rate of non-veterans ​
​
  • Suicide is the most common cause of death in young people from ages (approximately)  15 – 30
​​​

In the United States, National Suicide Prevention Week (NSPW) is an annual week-long campaign (September 9 - 15) in the United States to inform and engage health professionals and the general public about suicide prevention and the warning signs of suicide. It's purpose is also to reduce the stigma and encourage seeking mental health help.

According to Major David Reynolds, chief of Clinical Health Psychology at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, "The vast majority of people don't commit suicide because they want to kill themselves, but as a way to end the torment of not being able to cope with their problem."

While your world can feel temporarily black and like it will never change, remember, your viewpoint can change, and there are those who want to, and will help you, get through it. You're not alone.
