Suicide Prevention for Men

Adult men are most at risk for suicide. In Missouri, about 380 adult men between the ages of 35 and 60 die by suicide each year. This represents a real loss for Missouri families and communities. Suicide can be prevented. It means knowing what to do when you or someone you know is going through a difficult time. It means knowing how and where to get help. Help is available. If you or someone you know is in a mental health, suicide, or substance use crisis, help is available.
