According to the Office of Minority Health )OMH), suicide was the second leading cause of death for Blacks or African Americans, ages 15-24 in 2019, and the death rate from suicide for Black men was four times greater than that of Black women in 2018.

Everyone is affected by suicide, not just the victim. Whether the weight of a long-term struggle or a crisis weighs you down, allow friends, family, or a professional to lighten the burden by finding support. There is no shame in seeking help!
