Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, and its rate increased by 33 percent between 1999 and 2019. Yet that statistic doesn’t include the number of Americans who thought about or attempted suicide: according to Mental Health America, more than 10.3 million U.S. adults have had serious suicidal thoughts. So many people are silently hurting.

Award-winning author and popular speaker Gregory L. Jantz, PhD, equips readers to step up and speak out to those who may be considering suicide in his new book, So Much to Live For: How to Provide Help and Hope to Someone Considering Suicide. With great compassion and clear, actionable strategies, Jantz shows readers what to do, what to say, and how to intervene if they suspect a friend or loved one is considering suicide.

“I say with both realism and optimism that hope can prevail over dark circumstances and belief in the future can provide the inspiration to press on,” writes Jantz. “I have seen scores of people meet their worries, fear, and anxieties head-on, helping them break through to recovery. I’ve seen hope win out over despair, trust win out over fear, faith triumph over adversity.”

In So Much to Live For, readers will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of suicide, understand the potential causes of suicide, and build the courage to step up and speak out to those who might be considering suicide. Jantz encourages readers to know they can be instrumental in helping to save a life, and gives them the knowledge and tools to know how.
