September is National Suicide Prevention Month—a time to raise awareness, encourage open conversations about mental health, and remind those who may be struggling that support is available.
If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress or a mental health crisis, you don’t have to face it alone. Call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Help is available. Hope is possible. Reaching out can be the first step.
