We’re recognizing Suicide Prevention Month alongside the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or background. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues.

Although there is no single cause for suicide, it occurs most often in individuals who are feeling despair and hopelessness.
