Who We Are
On June 11, 2002, my dad walked into my home and said
"you have to see this, suicide is the
leading cause of death of college students!" I
said, "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 why aren't we doing
something about it?"
Much of that day, the day before when we had learned that
Nathan had died by suicide in
his dorm room and many of the days that followed are blurs.
I do however remember my
dad coming into my home with all the unbelievable suicide
statistics and our church filled
with Nathan's college basketball team mates, his
class mates, his friends and his family
and all asking the same question, why?
Since Nathan's death we have learned a lot about Mental
Health. We have learned:
adepression that goes untreated can potentially kill
you
asuicide deaths
are preventable
aan average of
1,100 college students die by suicide each year, the majority of whom
were not receiving
treatment for a mental disorder
athat more teenagers and young adults die from
suicide than from all medical
illnesses combined
athe folks in
Health care need our support in fighting this disease
We have also learned that my father inlaw was right that
day, that we each can do something to
help prevent suicide deaths!
