By the end of the first four months of 2011, eight people in Montrose County and four in Delta County had taken their own lives.
Nationally there are over 30,000 suicides in the United States each year — about one completed suicide each 16 minutes and one attempt every minute.
In an effort to avert such tragedy in 2012, the Center for Mental Health is collaborating with many local caring agencies and individuals to actively inform and help the public know what to look for, what to say, and what to do to prevent suicide.
