Panel focus was not only on the challenges and consequences of mental health and its subsets, but on the importance of treatment through interpersonal relationships as well. Three of our main key takeaways were as followed:
•A suicide is committed every 11 minutes
•A suicide is attempted every 27 seconds
•60% of addiction and mental health issues stem from genetic qualities
•Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death, just before homicide at 16th
