What education is available for an Adult
 
Introduction

As an adult, finding the right resources for quality information on suicide prevention can be difficult.  
 

Suicide impacts individuals worldwide and consequently is a big concern for any person who comes in contact with people who are at risk for suicide, engaging in suicide risk behaviors, or displaying suicide risk behaviors.  
 

The fear and concern of suicide impacting your community directly or indirectly requires the ability to find fast and targeted information and resources.

The stigma of suicide can make it difficult for adult acquaintances to find suicide and suicide prevention educational materials.   This Web site can help you when you are unable to find the suicide prevention information and resources that you need within your community.
