Every 40 seconds, someone, somewhere in the world, dies by suicide. For people with severe #depression, it is not uncommon to think about suicide. Suicides are largely preventable. This is what you should know if you are worried about someone 👉 bit.ly/2y9g2hQ #LetsTalk

Be like the turkeys, use the crosswalks! Teach your kids to use the crosswalks too. If you use them, they will use them. Be sure to look left, right, and left again. Drivers, remember to go slow and yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Safety is everyone's responsibility.
