Suicide Prevention Resources

September 4, 2025

Suicide is a leading cause of death among adolescents in Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Suicide is also preventable. Firearm related attempts have a much higher case fatality rate than nearly every other method. Reducing access to firearms and medications at home could save thousands of lives for people experiencing suicidality. Encourage families to limit access to these by practicing safe firearm storage and safe medicine storage and disposal.
