You are not alone.
At LSP we recognize that suicide has become a preventable leading cause of death in the United States. The statistics on suicide are sobering. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2013, suicide was the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Each year, more than 41,000 Americans take their own lives—that’s an average of over 113 suicides a day. While these numbers are alarming, there is hope. Suicide is preventable, and with the right tools and resources, people can overcome suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Scroll below for resources to help. Just remember you are not alone and we do want you to be well.
