AJR64,1,1
1Relating to: recognizing September as National Suicide Prevention Month.

AJR64,1,62
Whereas, suicide is a national health crisis, with the Center for Disease Control 
3and Prevention reporting that, in 2014, 1.1 million Americans attempted to take 
4their own lives and 42,773 Americans took their own lives, making suicide the tenth 
5leading cause of death in the United States and underscoring that approximately 
6every 12.3 minutes we lose a life to this crisis; and

AJR64,1,107
Whereas, the effect of a single suicide is devastating, resulting in anguish and 
8sadness on the part of all those who knew the victim, and this damage can consume 
9a community, forever draining that community of its vitality, innocence, and 
10happiness; and

AJR64,1,1411
Whereas, suicide affects all races, genders, and age groups, with an estimated 
12quarter million people each year that are suicide survivors, and there are numerous 
13factors such as depression, abuse, alcohol or drug dependency, bullying, and other 
14mental illnesses that contribute to suicide; and

AJR64,2,3
1Whereas, education and awareness are crucial tools in the fight to prevent 
2suicides and may serve to create a deliberative forum in which persons may seek 
3help; and

AJR64,2,64
Whereas, the legislature has an opportunity to lead and offer openness as well 
5as understanding about the causes, effects, and circumstances of those 
6contemplating self-harm; and

AJR64,2,107
Whereas, September is designated as National Suicide Prevention Month to 
8spread knowledge and awareness and provide an opportunity for those who have lost 
9a loved one to suicide or someone who has contemplated suicide themselves to share 
10their experiences; now, therefore, be it

AJR64,2,12
11Resolved by the 
assembly, the senate concurring, That the legislature 
12hereby proclaims September as National Suicide Prevention Month in Wisconsin.
