The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is releasing a series of Public Service Announcements targeting youth suicide. According to a release from the agency, 144 youth have taken their own lives in Georgia over the past three years. National statistics show indicate 25 others will have attempted to do so. That means approximately 3,600 other children have attempted suicide during the same time.
Individuals in need of crisis management, who exhibit signs of suicide, or identify signs of suicide in others, can call the Georgia Crisis and Access Line at 1-800-715-4225, 24/7. All calls are free and confidential. The PSAs are the result of several state agencies working together.
