This month is National Suicide Prevention Month

Peter,

Suicide prevention is important every day of the year.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. This month is a time to raise awareness about suicide and how we can work together to stop it. We use this month to shift public perception, spread hope, and share vital information with people affected by suicide.

Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. In fact, suicide is often the result of an untreated mental health condition. We also know that veterans, the elderly, and members of the LGBTQ+ community have higher rates of suicidal thoughts and behavior. Suicidal thoughts, although common, are something to take very seriously.

September is the time to bring communities together to create awareness of this leading cause of death and educate more people on how they can play a role in prevention. This month creates a safe space where those affected by suicide can freely share their stories.

Together, we can flip the conversation from suicide to suicide prevention through healing, helping, and giving hope. Find out more about how to take action during National Suicide Prevention Month here. >>

TAKE ACTION
Suicide and suicide attempts can not only have detrimental impacts on a person but also on their loved ones. Surviving family and friends often experience shock, anger, guilt, symptoms of depression or anxiety, and even experience suicidal thoughts themselves.

This can change. Suicide can be prevented.

Everyone can play a role in saving lives and helping people find support when they need it most. We can change the conversation this month and work together toward a future without suicide.

During this National Suicide Prevention Month, we can start making a difference by first educating ourselves and those around us. Learn more about this important topic and ways you can make a difference here. >>

Thank you,
