RIP Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade, and the thousands of people who die every year at their own hand…including my own father in 1980. Here in the US the rate of suicide has risen 30% in the last decade making it the 10th leading cause of death of people between the ages of 10 and 75. The reasons are myriad, but there is help. If you or someone you know needs help, here’s a number you can call. You’re not alone.

US National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
1-800-273-8255
