With all that is going in the world right now, it’s imperative to play close attention to the subject of suicide — a serious public health problem that can have lasting harmful effects on friends, families and communities.

Today, I share some of the warning signs and how we can all help reduce the suicide rate in this country.
You’ll also find out:
- Alarming numbers / statistics in regard to suicide (pre and post pandemic)
- The newest data on suicide rates in the LGBT community
