Suicide occurs throughout the lifespan and is the second leading cause of death among 15-29 year olds globally. It is a global phenomenon; in fact, 79% of suicides occurred in low- and middle-income countries in 2016. Suicide accounted for 1.4% of all deaths worldwide, making it the 18th leading cause of death in 2016. Effective and evidence-based interventions can be implemented at population, sub-population and individual levels to prevent suicide and suicide attempts.

As President of the Company I am proud to announce that we will begin working on building tools that will assist governments across the globe in identifying potentially at risk individuals in an effort to prevent tragic outcomes,” says Jeff Stevens, President and COO of the Company.
