You Can Help Prevent Suicides

22 Suicide Awareness Month

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month; in Arizona, some 1400 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 offers in person and online suicide prevention trainings, 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 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.
