US Suicide Statistics

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among persons aged 10-14, the second among persons aged 15-34 years, the fourth among persons aged 35-44 years, the fifth among persons aged 45-54 years, the eighth among person 55-64 years, and the seventeenth among persons 65 years and older.

In 2012, the overall age-adjusted suicide rate in the United States was 12.6 per 100,000 population. Among states, Wyoming had the highest suicide rate (29.6), followed by Alaska (23.0), Montana (22.6), New Mexico (21.3), and Utah (21.0).Nov 14, 2014

Utah

In Utah in 2015, 609 people died by suicide.

From 2013 to 2015, Utah’s age-adjusted suicide rate was 21.1 per 100,000 persons. This is an average of 578 suicides per year. Utah has one of the highest age-adjusted suicide rates in the U.S.

In 2015, suicide was the leading cause of death for Utahns ages 10 to 17. It is the second leading cause of death for ages 18 to 24 and 25 to 44 and the fourth-leading cause of death for ages 45-64. Overall, suicide is the seventh-leading cause of death for Utahns ages 10+.

Completed suicides are only part of the problem. More people are hospitalized or treated in an emergency room for suicide attempts than are fatally injured. In 2014, 13 Utahns were treated for self-inflicted injuries every day (3,280 emergency department visits and 1,294 hospitalizations).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i put the idea of suicide in someone's head by mentioning it?

No. 

No one can stop a suicide, it is inevitable.
If people in crisis get the help and support they need, there’s a good chance they wont feel suicidal again.
Confronting a person about suicide will only make them angry and increase the risk of suicide.

Asking someone directly about suicidal intent LOWERS anxiety, opens up communication and lowers the risk of an impulsive act. 

Only experts can prevent suicide.

Suicide prevention is everybody’s business, and anyone can help prevent the tragedy of suicide.

Suicidal people keep their plans to themselves.

Most suicidal people communicate their intent sometime during the week preceding their attempt.

Those who talk about it only want attention.

This is perhaps the most dangerous belief. Those who threaten, NEED the help. Take all signs seriously! Be brave enough to ask someone if they are thinking about suicide and when they say yes, be kind, listen, and help by getting others involved such as a school counselor, 988, SafeUt, a parent, or religious leader.

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Ch Philippians 4:13
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Not some things. Not maybe. Not this or that thing. Not just service. Not just money. Not just church activities. Not just the easy or the hard. ALL THINGS! DO ALL THINGS....how? Through Christ. Christ is a title, a role, a Divine appointment. 
This scripture came from Paul while he was in prison. Paul is my favorite NT Apostle. He was a convert. He was a pharasee and was in favor of persecuting, killing Jesus, The Christ. After His ascension and return to earth, Jesus walked with the unknowing, still rebellious Paul. Once he recognized His Savior, He immediately changed paths. He faced many challenges as a disciple. He understood by experience that he could do ALL things when he partnered with Jesus the Christ. 
For me, this scripture reminds me to never leave Christ out of the equation.
