We can’t be silent about this any longer. Every day in the U.S. alone, over 100 people die by suicide – and the rate has been rising for years.* But no matter what the statistics say or what you are facing … there is hope!

Join us for our upcoming Bible study on the topic of Suicide Prevention: Hope When Life Seems Hopeless. In this study, you will learn:

• How to recognize the warning signs of suicidal behavior
• How to identify and address the causes of suicidal thoughts
• How to talk to and help those struggling with suicidal thoughts
• How you can have hope no matter your circumstance

The series is free, but please take a moment to register and reserve your seat.

To get the most out of the series, we encourage you to purchase the Biblical Counseling Keys titled Suicide Prevention: Hope When Life Seems Hopeless. We will have these available for $10 + tax in The Hope Center Bookstore when you arrive. (We welcome cash for a speedy transaction.)
