Suicide
Suicide is a global public health issue that can often be prevented. While it is a complex situation with no single cause, the risks can be reduced when family, friends, ward members, and mental health professionals come together to help those who are struggling. Everyone can play a role in suicide prevention and should learn the risk factors and warning signs. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please reach out and talk to someone who can provide the right help.
Instruction from prophets, apostles, scriptures, manuals, media, and more can be found at ChurchofJesusChrist.org Gospel Topic, Suicide.
