Learning the signs. Starting the conversation. Knowing how to respond.
These are the steps that can save a life.

We're offering free, evidence-based trainings to equip our community with the tools to recognize risk, respond with care, and support someone through a crisis.

You don't need to be a professional to make a difference. You just need to be willing to learn.

START - a 60-90 minute, self-paced online training program that teaches participants to recognize signs of su***de, have confident conversations, and connect people to life-saving help and support using the four-step TASC model (Tune-IN, Ask, State, Connect).

September is Su***de Prevention Month!

We don't know everything you've been through to get here. But we know that getting here wasn't easy. If you've ever felt like too much, like a burden, like you don't belong, this month is for you.

We're holding space for those we've lost, for those who are struggling, and for those who continue to stay another day.

You matter. You are not a burden. Your story isn't over.
Stay. Even when it feels hard to.
Stay another day.

If you are struggling, you don't have to go through it alone.
Help is real. Help is free. Help is available 24/7.
Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Mark your calendar for events throughout September where we come together as a community for training, conversation, and support.

Today is Schizohrenia Awareness Day!

Let’s take action to stop the stigma:

• Learn the facts - schizophrenia is a medical condition, not a choice.
• Speak kindly - words are powerful. They can hurt or heal.
• Stand up - if you hear a hurtful joke, say something

Together, we can make our island home a place of understanding and support.

You’re quick to offer grace to the people you care about.
What if you offered even a little of that to yourself?

You’re allowed to rest. To take up space.
To be learning. To be healing. To not have it all together.

You’re still worthy of kindness, especially your own.

If you need someone to talk to, call or text 988. You’re not alone.
