Suicide is not rare. It’s killing our kids faster than drugs! It’s the 10th leading cause of death in the US, the 3rd (after accidents and homicides) for youths 15-24, and the 4th among adults 18-65. Men succeed in killing themselves more often than women; women try more frequently. And it’s not only a US problem! WHO identified suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among people 18-44 in the world. Meet Steve Austin, a man who tried to kill himself, failed and came back to become a happier guy. A former youth pastor masquerading as the perfect husband and dad, Steve had been sexually abused and struggled with a culture of stuffed feelings. He is now a blogger, sharing in an open and honest way. Why did he attempt suicide? How did he feel when he failed? What has worked for him and his family? What can he share with you or a loved one? We all know someone who is mentally ill, suicidal, depressed or anxious. It might even be you. Tune in for a deeper look into and out of the pit.
