老澳门六合彩图库 Comprehensive Injury Center - Division of Suicide Research and Healing
Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States and the second leading cause of death for individuals ages 10 to 34 in the United States. In Wisconsin, suicide rates increased 40% between 2000 and 2017, with rates increasing more substantially in certain groups, like veterans, and in urban counties. Despite these troubling statistics, suicide is preventable. The Division of Suicide Research and Healing at the Comprehensive Injury Center is a statewide leader in efforts to prevent loss of life from suicide.
