Suicide, a silent killer and mental health issue, has made people reluctant to disclose or discuss it because they felt embarrassed, helpless, and hopeless. The purpose of this project was to identify and recommend suicide education of early warning signs and support in churches, among adults in Kentucky, in order to raise sensitivity to and awareness of adult suicide in local churches. Active ministries are recommended to increase the sensitivity to suicide, provide support groups, and teach suicide prevention to the adult-age population and educators within churches across cultural and diverse communities.In the literature review, first-hand experiences with suicide, interviews, opinions, and arguments guided and staged the platform for more public awareness and church support in their communities. The literature and this research study confirmed a lack of education and public awareness of suicidal warnings to save lives. The researcher focused primarily on suicide experts David A. Jobes and M. David Rudd. The data analysis gathered from adults who had struggled with suicidal ideations and attempts aligned with Kevin Hines' discussion of his struggles with suicide discussed in his book.Volunteer participants invited to participate in the research were adults eighteen years of age and older, random, and diverse across all demographics in Kentucky. Participants included adults with suicidal ideations, intents, or behaviors in the past, who had been completely free from any suicidal ideations, intents, or behaviors for at least one year. Family members and friends, of persons at risk of suicide or who had died from suicide, participated. Mental healthcare professionals, church leaders, and church members participated. Mixed methods consisting of individual interviews, questionnaires, and surveys provided a record of the participants' perspectives and views, including the legitimacy of their views. Out of the eighty-four online Survey Monkey participants, sixty participants completed the surveys and questionnaires. With those sixty participants, an additional five individual interviews conducted privately by the researcher, totaled to sixty-five participants. Participation in the research study resulted in a 73.03% completion rate.This study revealed a lack of awareness of suicide prevention strategies-spiritual or otherwise-among church leaders and church members. Suicide, a growing trend in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, needed to be addressed. This issue challenged churches to establish education and support ministries to serve the needs of people at risk of suicide with sensitivity, encouragement, and love.
