9月是 Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month, and we are working to raise awareness and educate the community on the risk factors and warning signs of suicide. The Rural Health Information Hub states,"suicide rate is near twice as great in the most rural areas of the U.S.compared to the most urban areas."The difference in suicide rates between rural and urban areas has continued to widen, with an increase of 50% in rural areas versus 31% in urban areas from 1999 to 2019. 在一些州, the urban areas have seen no increase in suicide rates while the rates in rural areas continue to rise. For certain groups of people in rural areas, that risk is even higher, making it even more important to understand their challenges and find ways to help them—the Rural Health Information Hub shares the groups most at risk and why.
If you or someone you know is in an emergency, call 911 immediately.
