Spreading Awareness to Prevent Suicide
Suicide is not only the 10th leading cause of death among adults in the U.S., but also the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-24. Research also shows that people who experience mental illness are at a higher risk, accounting for up to 90 percent of all people who die by suicide. Take the time to get involved by sharing resources and stories to raise awareness and connect individuals to the treatment they need. Get the conversation started, it can change a life.

Samantha's Story
Now the 'Why?'
My name is Samantha Thornton. Within these writings I hope to offer a unique perspective on suicide and grief and I'd like nothing more than to help others either start this conversation, think hard about their loved ones that would be left behind, or help my fellow sibling survivors not feel so painfully alone.
