September is National Suicide Prevention Month

(Undated) – Suicide prevention is a heavy topic, and one that we often avoid talking about at all costs. There is a lingering stigma surrounding mental health and suicide, but these are issues that should be discussed honestly and openly. Worldwide, nearly eight hundred thousand people die from suicide each year. September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, promote hope, and normalize help-seeking. Whether you’re facing challenges, supporting a friend or loved one, or are looking to help, your voice matters. This month is dedicated to recognizing the warning signs for suicide, encouraging open conversations about mental health, and connecting people to proven treatment and resources. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988. To learn more about the warning signs of suicide, visit the link.
