SUICIDE

​• One in three Black men reported they experienced suicidal ideation or thoughts of death in the past two weeks, reports a new study from the University of Georgia. Childhood adversity and racism may hold much of the blame.

​• Recent research has observed that Caribbean
black men in the US have the highest attempt rate
for the African American community.

• Firearms were the predominant method of
suicide among African Americans regardless of sex
or age, suicides. Suffocation was the second most
prevalent method.

• Black Men don’t often recognize depression or
trauma as an issue therefore don’t associate Suicide Ideation as a problem.
