I read a statistic the other day that both scared and angered me. In the United States, 50,000 people take their own lives yearly. I guess we lead the world in that department. What a tragedy. What to do about it? There are plenty of possible causes: untreated depression, low self-esteem, feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, being a victim of sex trafficking, losing a job/career, undergoing a divorce, the death of a loved one, and the list goes on and on.
