Watch Suicide Prevention Video: Created in 2018 but still relevant today, the above video was produced by Pittsburg Police School Resource Officers in collaboration with Pittsburg Unified School District to raise awareness about suicide and mental health. It is a moving narrative without dialogue, made for a junior high or high school aged audience.

Suicide is the Second-Leading Cause of Death

Among Young People

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, was the tenth-leading cause of death in the nation (CDC, 2019). Every year in the U.S., more people die by suicide than in car accidents, and more suicide deaths occur than homicide and AIDS deaths combined.

988 offers 24/7 access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing mental health-related distress. That could be: thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress.

People can call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org for themselves or if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support. 988 serves as a universal entry point so that no matter where you live in the United States, you can reach a trained crisis counselor who can help. A 988 Toolkit is also available with key messaging, graphics, and more.
