The Stop Youth Suicide Campaign raises awareness and educates the public of  high risk behavior that could lead to suicide. Stop Youth Suicide increases public awareness of youth & teen suicide by:

Compiling  and distributing informative monthly fliers that describe risk factors and promote awareness to parents, youth, government agencies, schools, health care providers, community based organizations, faith communities,  local businesses, and organizations serving youths.
• Broadcasting interviews on local TV and radio stations with people whose lives have been affected by suicide.
• Presenting an eye-opening design for parents and professionals about youth suicide on local news and other media venues
• Connecting youth, parents, citizens, caregivers and professionals with appropriate support services.

Help Fund The Stop Youth Suicide Campaign, It Works!

• Since the campaign began, October 13, 2000, fourteen adolescent lives have been documented as saved through the Stop Youth Suicide Campaign.
• Emergency Room visits for suicide attempts in two local hospitals alone are down from 200 to 120 per year.
• The total number of completed suicides has declined by 20% over the last five years in Fayette County.  
• The Stop Youth Suicide Web site has received over 900 e-mails, nine of which directly saved their lives. It also provides phone numbers to crisis lines, which have been heavily utilized by teens. 
• The Stop Youth Suicide campaign needs your help!  Please consider volunteering your time and/or making a financial contribution.
