World Su***de Prevention Day - September 10th
“Creating Hope Through Action”
Together, we can break the silence and support each other.

Why This Day Matters
✨ Every life is valuable.
✨ Su***de is preventable.
✨ Talking about mental health saves lives.
💛 Today, we raise awareness, reduce stigma, and show that help is available.

If You’re Having Suicidal Thoughts
💡 Remember: You are not alone.
Here are some steps that can help in the moment:
• Pause and breathe – Focus on one breath at a time.
• Reach out – Call a trusted friend, family member, or counselor.
• Create a safe space – Remove anything that could harm you.
• Write it down – Journal your feelings to release the weight.
• Delay the decision – Give yourself time. Feelings can shift.

Coping Tips That Can Help Over Time
🌱 Build daily routines.
🌱 Stay connected with supportive people.
🌱 Practice grounding techniques (5 things you see, 4 you touch, etc.).
🌱 Limit alcohol and drugs—they can make feelings worse.
🌱 Seek professional help when things feel too heavy.

Men in T&T are under pressure.
To be strong. To provide. To stay silent.
But that pressure builds and too often, it explodes or eats away at them quietly.
If you’ve been feeling irritable, withdrawn, like you’re losing interest in things, drinking more, or just not yourself this isn’t just stress.
It could be depression or anxiety. It could be burnout. It could be time to talk to someone.
You’re not broken.
And getting help isn’t weakness, it’s responsibility.
This Men’s Mental Health Month, take one small step. Reach out. We’re here to listen confidentially, respectfully, with no judgment.
For appointments call (868) 746-3769
