Welcome to MindSet 2022! Please share our podcast with those you believe should know about behavioral health issues, including parents, teachers, co-workers, your doctor(s), law enforcement, media, and the religious communities.
This session is Part One of a four-part series on the most serious issue in behavioral health - suicide. Tragically, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34. With all that has been done over many decades, suicide rates have increased 35% since 1999. About 78% of all people who die by suicide are male. We are losing too many young people. Think about all life has to offer those between 10-34 years of age, but they don't feel that way and they don't see or experience a hopeful future. In our world today, we must also grasp that lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth are four times more likely to attempt suicide than straight youth. Transgender people are 12 times more likely to attempt suicide than the general population.
If you are worried about suicide and not sure what to do, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Please listen to our podcast. I promise you will learn something new and critically important! Thank you!
