SUICIDE PREVENTION QUOTES
THE HARD TRUTH
No one is immune to suicide. It cuts across all ages, races, sexes, and classes - young/old, rich/poor, male/female, and black/brown/white/or anything in between.
Suicides are lowest during the winter holidays and higher during the spring.
Teenage suicides get more attention and media coverage but the elderly are more likely than any other group to take their own life.
Two of every three people who complete suicide were depressed. However, alcoholism plays a role in 1 in 3 completed suicides.
Most Suicide Attempts Fail: Only 1 in 10-25 suicide attempts result in a death. When concerned about a loved one, check for stockpiles of medications, access to guns, and poisons.
One suicide attempt can trigger others to attempt - this is called "copy cat" attempts.
Suicide is permanent - there is no coming back from a completed suicide.
You cannot be replaced.....
