Suicide is a leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Today our knowledge about suicide has evolved, as have conversations about mental health. We know that we save lives when we work to #EndTheStigma around seeking help. In September and always, we stand together in strength, dignity hope and purpose.
Start a Conversation. Be the Difference. Suicide Prevention Month is a great time to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time. Suicidal thoughts, like mental health conditions, can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. While they may be common, they should never be seen as normal. Often, they signal deep emotional pain or an underlying mental health concern that deserves understanding, care, and professional support. Yet, suicide is still too often met with silence, stigma, or shame.
This September: Start a Conversation. Be the Difference. With one conversation, asking someone how they’re really doing — and being ready to truly listen — can save lives. Because here's what we know: No one has to face this alone. Help exists. Healing is possible. And all it can take is for one person to start a conversation.
Prevention begins with awareness. Knowing the warning signs of #suicide could save a life.ߛ怜t;/p>
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Learn the warning signs, ⚠️normalize help-seeking, and let people know there are proven treatments that work.
Healing isn’t the same for everyone. It’s a personal journey. ߑ㦬t;/p>
