By: Staff Reporter
One American every 11 minutes dies by suicide. Although it’s a leading cause of death, nobody wants to talk about it. Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center is launching a lifesaving initiative that hopes to change that.
The suicide prevention project, called “Know the Signs,” will conduct free informational workshops at sites across Niagara Falls in hopes of reducing the stigma of discussing suicide and teaching an evidence-based method of preventing it.
The project is supported by a federal CARES Act grant administered by the City of Niagara Falls.
