"Every Soul Counts, Even If the System Doesn’t"
“This single flame represents just one of the lives lost to suicide in our region — a visible reminder of a much deeper tragedy. The number we report is based only on confirmed data, but the true toll is far greater. Many deaths go unreported, misclassified, or remain hidden due to stigma, silence, and systemic gaps. Every light we count is a life remembered — and every life deserves to be seen.”
Data Disclaimer
The data presented here is gathered from a combination of sources, including local authorities, neighboring suicide prevention coalitions through self-report, and official state reporting systems. Please note that suicide data is widely understood to be underreported due to factors such as misclassification, stigma, and inconsistent reporting practices across jurisdictions. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, the true number of lives lost is likely higher than reflected.
