Suicide Awareness Voices of Education
SAVE was started in 1989 when six suicide survivors (people who have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide) met and agreed on the need for an organization. The organization is comprised mostly of suicide survivors, and people that have suffered from depression. The major event for the organization is SAVE’s Suicide Awareness and Memorial Day held every spring in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which draws nearly 500 people annually. The #1 cause of suicide is untreated depression. SAVE is committed to the education of the general public about the depressive brain diseases (such as clinical depression and bipolar illness) that can result in suicide if left untreated medically and psychologically. By educating the general public about such brain diseases, SAVE strives to remove the stigma associated with these diseases. SAVE’s prevention and education programs are designed to: Increase knowledge about depression and suicide prevention. Increase knowledge about symptoms of depression and the warning signs of suicidal thinking and behavior. Increase the confidence and competence of participants to make interventions and referrals. Increase understanding and the use of intervention skills that can help avert the tragedy of suicide. Increase knowledge about community resources, how to access and use them.
Suicide Prevention and Crisis Intervention Agencies
The San Pedro Youth Coalition - Now approaching epidemic proportions, suicide is currently the third leading cause of death among teenagers in the United States. It is estimated that 300 to 400 teen suicides occur per year in Los Angeles County; this is equivalent to one teenager lost every day. Evidence indicates that for every suicide, they are 50 to 100 attempts at suicide. Due to the stigma associated with suicide, available statistics may well underestimate the problem. Nevertheless, these figures do underscore the urgent need to seek a solution to the suicide epidemic among our young people. 24 HOUR SUICIDE PREVENTION HOT LINE (877) 7-CRISIS (Toll Free in Los Angeles County) |
