WASHOE SUICIDE PREVENTION ALLIANCE (WSPA)

KEEP IT SAFE & SECURE!

Nevada ranks one of the highest in the nation for suicide-related deaths. Suicide is preventable.

Attempting suicide is often an impulse decision. The method, or means, which someone attempts suicide determines whether they live or die. 90% of those who survive an attempt do not later die by suicide.

Temporarily restricting access to the most lethal means of suicide during a crisis can save lives.
