Nebraska Lethal Means Campaign
1 min read
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for Nebraskans ages 10-44. Increasing awareness around the safe storage of firearms and medication is one way we can help to lower the suicide rate in our state. Please explore the resources included on this page to learn more.
The Nebraska Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention exists to help prevent suicide and bring hope to Nebraskans affected by suicide. We are grateful to partner with the Sarpy County Suicide Prevention Coalition to produce this ad in Marcus Theatres.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call or text 988, available 24/7. Help is available.
