Yesterday at noon, while I was outside my office having a smoke, somebody jumped from the parking garage across the street, resulting in a fatality. This is the third time in as many years that a suicide was completed in that exact same spot. I was unlucky enough to be a witness in 2009 - the visual of a broken 15 year old body on the sidewalk is not one that you can easily erase from your memory.

The story here is not that my place of employment is unfortunately located near a popular suicide location, but that attempted and completed suicide (at least locally) is on the rise.
What can we, both individually and collectively, do to help people and prevent suicide?
