Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death among Americans, the second leading cause of death for adults aged 25-34, and the third leading cause of death for youths and young adults aged 15-24.
In New Jersey, 60 percent of all violent deaths are suicides. There are almost twice as many suicides as homicides in New Jersey.
Learning about warning signs and risk factors is crucial, as well as finding support for yourself and/or for loved ones. Everyone has a role to play in shaping a community that cares for all of its citizens. Preventing suicide can only be done if we stand together and take every opportunity – in our homes, workplaces, and community – to support each other and be there for those in need.
Suicide is preventable. Healing, hope and recovery are possible.
