Recent studies show that suicide remains a growing concern—and a challenging and sensitive topic to discuss. To help normalize these conversations, I’d like to share a collection of materials from the AllOne Health Blog and Resource Library. They provide helpful information and insight by discussing suicide awareness and prevention from a variety of perspectives:
- Suicide Awareness & Prevention: Breaking the Silence, Building Support
- Responding To Others in Distress.pdf
- Preventing Suicide by Talking About It
- Helping Organizations Discuss and Prevent Suicide
- Breaking the Silence and Extending a Helping Hand During Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
