Enough people to fill the KFC Yum! Center TWICE. That’s how many people in American completed suicide in 2020 (more than 45,000). And another million Americans attempted it but were saved.
Someone in America completes suicide every 11 minutes every day. But we can help lower that number.
Suicide is preventable. Have an open heart, listen to those who are trying to tell you they are struggling, and don’t judge someone else’s struggles. Remember, not all scars can be seen.
If you’re wrestling with thoughts of suicide, or know someone who is, please call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or the suicide hotline at 988.
