Alabama District Attorneys Association: Suicide Prevention

This week, a young member of our community took her own life before she could experience all the best life has to offer.  Suicide is always tragic, but when our young people believe there is nothing worth living for and decide to leave us, it is especially tragic.  

Sadly, suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for children ages 10-14.  

If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988 to speak with a trained crisis counsellor.  988 is confidential, free and available 24/7/365.  You can also chat with a counselor at www.988lifeline.org or call 1-800-273-8255.

Our prayers are with this young person's family and fellow classmates.
