CDC Injury Prevention & Control: Division of Violence Prevention: Suicide Prevention

The statistics on suicidal behavior in the United States are not heartening. In 2013, more than 40 thousand people successfully completed a suicide attempt; the number of people treated in emergency rooms was ten times that amount. In fact, it is estimated that suicide attempts cost the economy over 44 billion dollars every year. This site from the Center for Disease Control provides welcome information on what some commentators are calling a public health epidemic. Here readers will find free and reliable fact sheets and other documents, which includes "The Relationship Between Bullying and Suicide: What We Know and What it Means for Schools" and "Recommendations for Media Reporting on Suicide." There is also a trove of information regarding suicide prevention, such as the research on enhancing connectedness. Readers who are looking for ways to understand suicide and its prevention will find much to appreciate on this excellent site.
