JD Schramm: Break the silence for suicide attempt survivors

Break the silence for suicide attempt survivors

JD Schramm bravely shares his survival from a suicide attempt, highlighting the profound isolation and scarcity of support for survivors.

19 of 20 suicide attempts fail, yet survivors are 37x more likely to succeed later; a pressing need for better support resources.

Emerging from a suicide attempt requires holistic recovery; physical, emotional, spiritual resources are crucial for resilience.
