You Can Help Prevent Suicides

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness month; in Arizona, some 1,400 individuals die by suicide annually. But you can help. We have more resources than ever to offer community members to help everyone prevent suicides.

1. Get trained. The Arizona Department of Education has free online suicide prevention training, including offerings in Spanish.
2. Talk to someone. Resilient Arizona offers free crisis counseling to anyone in Arizona. Call 2-11 or visit: www.resilientarizona.org
3. Visit the AHCCCS website for resources by priority population and county.
4. Sign up for our monthly emails for updates on training, events, grants, and more.
5. Invite our staff to tell you more. We have a team available to present (via Zoom) on suicide prevention. There is no cost involved.
6. When in doubt, call the crisis line for next steps on how to help someone who may be suicidal.
