Oklahoma Ranked 13th for Suicides
Oklahoma is ranked 13th for deaths by suicide and suicide is the second leading cause of death for Oklahomans between the ages of 10 and 24. Covering 40 counties in Oklahoma and open 24/7, the Oklahoma HeartLine service provides the "211" phone line that provides information on ANY type of health of human service need. It also provides the "CareLine" for crisis intervention and compassionate listening, the "Healthy Education for Life Program (HELP)" for youth showing signs of depression of suicide, "Healthy Aging Living Transitions (HALT)" for suicide awareness among seniors, and a "Problem Gambling Helpline." Just pick up the phone and dial 211; people are waiting to help you.
