NJ suicides down during COVID, but thoughts of suicide may be up The coronavirus pandemic, as of now, does not appear to have resulted in a greater number of suicides in the Garden State. But experts are keeping a close eye on the trend because calls for help continue to outpace typical volume. I can foresee a rise in suicide in the future, said Eleanor Letcher, executive director of Contact of Mercer County. Volunteers for the crisis and suicide prevention helpline have seen a greater number of calls and chats over the past year. Younger people seem to be having a harder time with the lingering crisis than older individuals, Letcher said. Not all who reach out, though, are imminently suicidal many folks just need to vent, and Contact has trained individuals who are there to listen.
