What We Know

  • Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. 
  • 18% of all suicide deaths are older adults.
  • Loneliness, fear of becoming a burden, grief, frustration over lack of self-sufficiency, chronic pain, illnesses, and cognitive disabilities are common reasons why older adults might consider and attempt suicide. 
  • Older adults are more likely to succeed in their suicide attempts because of detailed planning. 
  • They are also less likely to recover from the effects of failed attempts.

Common Myths About Suicide Prevention

Myth: Suicide is inevitable, no one can stop it.
Fact: If a person in crisis gets the help they need, they will probably never be suicidal again 

Myth: Confronting a person about suicide might only make them angry and increase the risk of suicide
Fact: Asking someone directly about suicidal intent lowers anxiety, opens up communication and lowers the risk of an impulsive act

Myth: Only experts can prevent suicide
Fact: Anyone can help the tragedy of suicide

​"Suicide prevention training is extremely important because it creates a safe space, support system, and overall a more understanding society. Each day can become a struggle for people with mental health issues, but if we collectively have a basis to encourage, assist, and uplift each other, they might have a better future."
- Wayne State University Student on Suicide Prevention
