Suicide Prevention Program
ONE
It Only Takes One to Save a Life
Nearly 800,000 people die from suicide each year. That's one person every 40 seconds. For every adult who dies by suicide, it's estimated that more than 20 others attempt it. It's the 10th leading cause of death for adults nationwide. More than half of those who died by suicide did not have a known mental health condition, causing confusion and tremendous loss for families and communities. It also leaves a lasting impact on businesses. Mental illness is associated with $193.2 billon loss annually in the U.S., half of which is attributed to reduced productivity of workers.
Funded by a suicide prevention grant, Burrell Behavioral Health is offering the program, ONE, consisting of trainings and support to businesses and organizations at no cost with the goal of helping your employees learn how to have conversations about suicide and understand the role they can play in preventing suicide at work, home and in their communities. Because, it only takes one person to prevent a suicide and save a life.
