If you see someone wearing a tee shirt that states “Asking Saves Lives” you might wonder what this means. The Monroe County Suicide Prevention Coalition is striving to make citizens aware of how important it is to talk to someone you think is having a bad day. Depression is a major factor when you start looking at symptoms that cause suicidal thoughts. In reviewing statistics, it has come to our attention that the most vulnerable age group since 2000 is middle aged men 40 to 59 years of age. From 1975 to 1999 it was men aged 21 to 39. Women make up about 15% of suicides and statistics show that once one occurs there is a 60% chance that another one will happen within 3 months.
Awareness is our best defense and in this high tech era we have lost a lot of our personal “face to face” relationships. These relationships make all the difference to someone who is feeling no one cares, but a simple “how are you feeling” opens the door to a conversation that just might save a life!
From 1975 to 1999 Monroe County averaged 2.4 suicides a year, we now average 3.3. Help us reduce this number by making a difference by asking a simple question to someone you know!! If you know someone in need of help, please give them the Monroe County Suicide Prevention Crisis #1-800-354-4357. The Coalition meets every 3rd Thursday at 4 pm at St. Paul’s UCC in Woodsfield, for more information contact the health department at 740-472-1677 ext 201.
