Every year, about 30,000 people die by suicide in the US, and some 650,000 receive emergency treatment after a suicide attempt. This book provides a blueprint for addressing this tragic problem: how we can build an appropriate infrastructure, conduct needed research, and improve our ability to recognize suicide risk and effectively intervene.
