A suicide occurs in Hawaii every two (2) days. This is tragic and more needs to be done to better address this troubling fact.

Press release statement from Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland:

Through this open discussion on suicide and prevention, we hope people will become equipped with information that will help save someone’s life.
