Every 40 Seconds, a Person Commits Suicide! Author Publishes Ebook on "Suicide CPR"

Brockville, ON, Canada - Wednesday, - Lori Veltkamp has 10 years of experience in suicide intervention and has written her first book on suicide and depression, and how to help someone in crisis. She has put all of her knowledge and expertise into an ebook and has published it on Lulu.com the online marketplace for digital content.

Mrs. Veltkamp seized the opportunity to give the public straight-forward and easy to read information on how to recognize when a person is suicidal and how anyone can learn valuable life saving skills.

The book provides information on suicide facts, suicide misconceptions, reasons why people are suicidal, common warning signs, how to help and much more. The book is designed to give readers pertinent information in only 53 detailed pages.

Mrs. Veltkamp says "I always refer to suicide intervention as suicide CPR becasue just like regular CPR, you never know when you may be thrust into a crisis situation. The fact is, that you are more likely to come in contact with a person who is suicidal than with a person who is choking, drowning, unconscious or suffering a heart attack.

The book is entitled "Suicidal Nation" because Mrs. Veltkamp wants people to know that suicide is a huge problem that occurs within every culture, religion, age bracket and socioeconomic status. The book can be found at http://www.lulu.com/content/1421067
