“Deaths of Despair” from suicide, overdose, and alcoholic liver disease have risen so much that it has contributed to lowered life expectancy in the U.S. (Source). Worldwide, suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29 year olds (Source). 7.1% of the U.S. adult population suffers with Major Depression (Source) and 3.6% have PTSD (Source). Chronic Pain affects 20.4% of U.S. adults (Source). While these numbers may be bleak, each of us can do what we can in our corner of the world to make a net positive change. That is our mission.
