September is National Su***de Prevention Month 💜
Every year on National Su***de Prevention Month in September, mental health advocates, survivors, friends and family, and mental health organizations across the country and around the world share their experiences and work towards prevention.
All of us together play a role in preventing su***de and raising awareness about this topic.
How to observe and aid:
👋1. Spread the message
Throughout Su***de Prevention Month, it’s extremely important to spread awareness, take time to reach out to those in need and help people understand the severity of this cause.
👋2. Volunteer at a crisis center
Provide support by volunteering at a crisis center in your area. Although this is something that can be done year-round, Su***de Prevention Month is the perfect time to get started.
👋3.Record a supportive video
This is an easy option that doesn’t cost money or time, so anyone can do it. Simply record a 15-30 second video promising your friends to listen to anything they need to say. Then, use the hashtags ***deispreventable #988
If you are in a crisis please call: 988 to speak to someone on the National Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
