     Welcome to NAEF

  On June 11, 2002, my father in-law walked into my home and said "you have to see this,
  suicide is the leading cause of death of college students!"  My wife responded, "dad, now is
  not the time for this, we must get ready to go to the funeral home. He replied, "you don't
  understand, there are over 30,000 suicide deaths in the US each year and another 650,000
  receive emergency care after attempting to take their own lives. Why aren't we doing
  something about it?" . . . . . 

Just The Facts: Suicide and Older Adults
Since 1933, the first year states began reporting deaths, adults 65 and older have had the highest suicide rate of all age groups. While older adults make up 13% of the U.S.population, they account for nearly 20% of suicide deaths. Suicide rates tend to rise with age and are highest among white men 65 and older.     From Center for Disease Control

  On this web site there are Suicide Awareness and Prevention Programs for all ages. Each
  program is designed to enable you, your church, business, group or civic organization to
  bring awareness to the warning signs of depression / suicide and to help reduce the risk
  of suicide deaths.

Just The Facts: Suicide and Young People

The rate of youth suicides has tripled since the 1950s, and today, suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds. In 1998, more teenagers and young adults died of suicide than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease combined.        From Center for Disease Control

  The Nathan Alan Eisert Foundation is committed to reducing the suicide rate in the US by:
  increasing the awareness of the issue; and by implementing prevention programs that have
  been approved by Mental Health professionals.
