September is Su***de Prevention Month. First responders face unique challenges that can take a toll on their mental health. The chronic stress of their work places them at a higher risk for experiencing mental health symptoms, including thoughts of su***de.

In fact, the rate of suicidal thoughts among New York State first responders is four times higher than that of the general population.

This alarming statistic comes from New York’s inaugural First Responder Mental Health Needs Assessment, conducted by DHSES in partnership with the Institute for Disaster Mental Health and the Benjamin Center at SUNY New Paltz. To read the final report, visit https://www.governor.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2025-02/First-Responder-MHNA-Final-Report.pdf.

You are not alone. Help is available. If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org to connect with a counselor. Available 24/7/365.
