Did you know that suicide is the second leading cause of death for individuals ages 10 to 24? Did you know that the global suicide rate is over twice as high for men than women? Well, let's talk about it!

 

In 2021, men died by suicide 3.90x more than women. There are roughly 132 people committing suicide on a daily basis, with White men accounting for 69.68% of suicide deaths in 2021. Between 2000-2018, suicide rates increased 37%, but decreased by 5% between 2018 and 2020. However, these rates have steadily increased and returned to record peaks since 2021. Just in 2021 alone, suicide was responsible for 48,183 lives lost. The number of residual lives affected by suicide are quadruple that number. So what can we do? 

​

We can rectify this problem by first bringing awareness! Suicide is real, and so is Suicide Prevention. We must first understand the causes behind suicide, and then learn to combat them. It is okay to not be okay. However, it is not okay to not seek help. And this is where the Pablo Foundation steps in. Learn how to prevent suicide and bring awareness. We are here to help you!
