A Benefit to Raise Awareness for Suicide Prevention
What: YANA (You Are Never Alone), a Suicide Prevention Benefit for all ages
Why: According to Statista, Colorado has the second highest suicide rate amongst adolescents and teens in the Nation
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in people 15-44 in Colorado.
We are 5th amongst women and in the top 10 overall for suicides in the US. Suicides in Colorado have more than doubled in the last 20 years.
What can be done about it: Suicide is preventable. More than one-third of Coloradans who lost their lives to suicide had recently disclosed their intent to someone within a month prior to their death.
Studies show that the feeling of connection, even to just one person, is enough to prevent a suicide.
Staying socially connected and holding open conversations about mental health, so no one has to struggle alone, is key. This requires understanding that people of any age, gender, race, ethnicity, profession, or geography can be at risk for suicide, and that though we all have unique experiences and behaviors, knowing and watching for warning signs can make an enormous difference. Even more importantly, we all must support policies and leadership that can improve the root causes of many mental health stressors.
