Suicide Prevention Lifeline - There is help and hope available to you.

Sadly, we are losing too many lives to suicide. WLUK FOX 11 is teaming up with experts in the field, with the mission of reducing the number of suicides that take place in Northeast Wisconsin each year. To accomplish this, we intend to increase public awareness of suicide and mental illness, the warnings signs of those who might be in crisis, and methods for suicide prevention through education, information and collaboration with all who are affected by suicide and mental illness.

Here is a link to help you better understand right now.
