Southwest Montana - Suicide Intervention & Prevention

Suicide is a major public health problem in Montana. In the past 30 years, our rate has always been one of the highest 4 rates in the United States. Suicide is the second leading cause of mortality among Montana’s youth and young adults, second only to motor vehicle crash deaths as a cause of deaths among 15-19 years olds.
