Eighty-five Americans did more than think about suicide today; they did it. Another 2096 attempted it, often with serious injuries. This year in America: 10,000 more suicides than murders; three to four times more deaths by suicide than by AIDS. It's easy to ignore if it doesn't hit close to home, but in a 15-year period more Americans will die at their own hand than died in combat in the entire 20th century. It is your problem, whether you want it or not. Skip Simpson and Michael Stacy, the two lawyers featured in this book, tell why. Is someone I love at risk for suicide? Is it true people who talk about suicide won't really do it? Is it true if a person is determined to kill him or herself, nothing is going to stop them? Will talking about suicide give someone the idea? After reading this book, you will know how to recognise, react and intervene when a loved one is at risk for suicide.
