<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">On yesterday, I learned that our Affiliate President, Richard Payne lost a young person in his family to suicide. Chris Payne is his name and as Richard and I; as well as all
of us know or have a young adult in our lives. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among those who are 10 to 24. We all listen to the news, and read about the affects of mental illness, depression, bipolar, ADHD and others.

<p><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#484848">Suicide does not have one single cause. Certain factors like substance abuse and untreated depression can lead to higher risk of suicide just as having a trusted group of friends
