shared life as 911. The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is a national hotline that provides

24-7 free and confidential mental health

support to anyone who needs it.

In just the first year, 5 million contacts were responded to, whose numbers are staggering

and the hotline continues to seek to find better ways to find high-risk populations,

like indigenous people, people with disabilities and rural men.

But suicide is a culture-wide problem.

From 2021 to 2022, the suicide rate increased by 2.5%. Christians have to play a significant

role in offering hope. Parents, teachers, pastors, and other mentors need to be equipped to spot

vulnerable young people and to connect with him and point them to Jesus Christ the source of all hope.

The Hope Always course featuring Dr Matthew Sleet is available online.

It can be accessed any time and can be studied alone or as part of a community

that's committed to providing healing to people contemplating suicide.
