Each year, 31,000 people in the United States die by suicide compared to the 18,000 deaths by homicide, and 16,000 deaths by drunk driving.
SPS works to stop suicide through early detection of depression and suicidal thoughts and by assisting family and friends to help their loved ones. Since our inception in May 1998, we have educated over 8,000 people in suicide prevention. The time to fight for life is now and together we can make a difference.
