The Suicide Crisis
Suicide is a growing problem around the world. Here in America, suicide rates have increased nearly 40% since 2000, exceeding the predictions of experts. It’s a leading cause of death–in some demographics, it’s as high as #2.
So why isn’t suicide treated as a bigger issue?
Suicide is a difficult topic. There’s a stigma surrounding mental health in our society that makes it hard to have honest, trusting conversations about our struggles, even with loved ones. In recent years, mental health and wellbeing have started to become more approachable topics. Living Proof wants to make sure that this trend continues–and that suicide isn’t forgotten in the process.
