SLIDESHOW FOR HOPE WITH ENCOURAGING WORDS THAT CAN ALSO HELP COMBAT MEAN WORDS FROM OTHERS OR YOURSELF

SLIDESHOW WITH THE NATIONAL SUICIDE LIFELINE NUMBER ON PICTURES SO THEY CAN BE VIEWED PRIVATELY WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING WHAT THE NUMBER IS FOR, YET YOU HAVE IT CLOSE BY IF NEEDED

THE ABOVE CHART SHOWS THAT IN 2019,
12 MILLION AMERICAN ADULTS REPORTED
HAVING SERIOUS THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE.

OUT OF THE 12 MILLION THINKING ABOUT IT,
1.4 MILLION ACTED ON THEIR THOUGHTS.

IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE
DURING STRESSFUL TIMES, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
THIS CHART ALSO SHOWS THAT YOU CAN HAVE THE STRENGTH & WILL TO NOT ACT ON YOUR THOUGHTS AND TO GET HELP IF NEEDED.

 GLOBALLY
AROUND 800,000 PEOPLE ARE LOST TO SUICIDE EACH YEAR .
THIS IS ROUGHLY, ONE DEATH EVERY 40 SECONDS.
DEPRESSION IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DISABILITY

HERE IN THE U.S.A.
EACH YEAR OVER 48,300 AMERICANS ARE LOST TO SUICIDE.
EACH DAY ON AVERAGE THERE ARE 123 SUCCESSFUL SUICIDES.
THERE IS ONE DEATH BY SUICIDE EVERY 12 MINUTES

EACH YEAR THERE ARE OVER ONE MILLION SUICIDE ATTEMPTS
IT IS ESTIMATED THAT FOR EVERY 1 SUICIDE DEATH
THERE ARE 25 SUICIDE ATTEMPTS.
EXCEPT WITH THE ELDERLY, IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THERE IS 1 SUCCESSFUL SUICIDE FOR EVERY 4 SUICIDE ATTEMPTS

HOPEFULLY, GALLERY OF HOPE CAN HELP REDUCE THESE NUMBERS. EVEN IF IT'S JUST BY ONE - YOU
