National Suicide Prevention Month- September 2020
September is National Suicide Prevention month. Talking about suicide can feel overwhelming or even taboo at times, but it’s important that we are all aware of the resources out there to help you or someone you know who may be thinking about suicide. Most importantly, prevention and awareness is something we’re all responsible for. Let’s begin to create a world that people feel safe to be a part of—where everyone feels cared for and has access to the things they need.
