Suicide Prevention Month - One Minute with Bishop Burbidge

The Walk Humbly Podcast

September is Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide is a difficult topic to discuss, especially for those affected by the suicide of a loved one. Tragically, there are more than 48,000 suicides in the United States yearly. Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death among all ages. There are three things we can — no — we must do. First, recognize the warning signs: individuals who seem extremely sad, anxious, withdrawn, agitated, or full of rage need attention and care. Second, be unafraid to invite them to seek help immediately by calling 988, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Third, pray specifically for those in need, asking God to bless them with his healing love.
