The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is now available nationwide via a three-digit dialing code – 988 – making it easier for those in crisis to get the help they need. Converting to this easy-to-remember number offers the public increased access to potentially lifesaving, trained crisis counselors. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young adults ages 15-34 in Illinois and fourth leading cause of death for those ages 35-44. Overall, suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the state. In addition to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline, staff in the village's Family Counseling Center and Social Services Division are available to assist residents in need and those experiencing crisis situations.
