How you can help prevent suicide

What can you do?

  • Learn about the risk factors and warning signs from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
  • Know someone who may be suicidal? Learn about what you can do to help keep them safe.
  • Man Therapy is dedicated to smashing the notion that men shouldn’t talk about their feelings. Working-age men (25-64 years old) account for the largest number of suicide deaths in the United States. These men are the least likely to receive support, and they don’t talk about it with their friends/family or ask for professional treatment. Man Therapy is changing those perspectives.
  • Youth suicide prevention resources.
  • Connect with prevention efforts and resources in your local community using this list developed by the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Colorado.
