Suicide can be prevented!

Your involvement is the key to suicide prevention!

We are involved in fighting a most difficult battle—a battle to save lives and bring healing to those who have suffered loss.

Our mission is to save lives, restore hope, faith, and a reason to live. We teach suicide prevention, intervention, grief support for survivors, and we promote the "He Intends Victory" program.

Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S., ranking above homicide. One suicide occurs in the United States every 18 minutes.*

Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among young people (those who are 15 to 24 years old).*

It is estimated that each suicide intimately affects at least 6 other people.*

The number one cause of suicide is depression which has been undiagnosed, untreated or ineffectively treated.*
