Suicide Prevention

A recent survey found that 64% of teens believe "the experience of COVID-19 will have a lasting impact on their generation's mental health." In Michigan, suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for ages 10-34 and the 4th leading cause of death for ages 35-54. Help is available 24-7. If you or someone you know may be thinking of suicide, going through a hard time, or just need to talk, call or text the Common Ground Resource and Crisis Helpline at 1-800-231-1127 or chat online at www.commongroundhelps.org.

More information about suicide prevention can be found on the Task Force's website at oakgov.com/suicideprevention.
