Marketing Material
KMSAC's posters, flyers and magnets are male focused. Here's why:
- Although females attempt suicide more than three times as often as males; males die by suicide more than four times as often as the females. This is due to the methods being more lethal.
- In the age 10 to 24 group, 81% of the suicide deaths were males and 19% were females.
The Campaign Lapel Pin™
Symbolizes a broken heart from that of Suicide. Wearing the pin helps to increase national attention to the epidemic of youth suicide.
