Did you know this?
When referring to someone who has killed themselves, it’s better to say they have “died by su***de” instead of saying they “committed su***de”. This small change in language has a huge impact in saving lives!
Research has shown that the term “committed” has a negative connotation associated with it, making people who have suicidal thoughts feel guilty for how they are feeling. If they feel like they will be greeting with shame instead of comfort and understanding when reaching out for help, they may never take the necessary steps in getting help.
If you’ve used the phrase “committed su***de”, it’s okay! Safe language is something we have to learn about. Moving forward, if you are talking about someone who has lost their life to su***de, try talking about it without the harsh word of “committed”. You never know who around you will notice and appreciate your care in safe language! 💕

We are raising money for the out of the darkness walk in Nashville TN.
We participate in this amazing event every year for the last 3 years. We started going to this walk to meet others that have been through the same traumatic events we have. As well as getting Natalie's story out there to more people as well. We set up our booth and connect with others, shinning Natalie's light in every possible way we can! ***deprevention

Please support the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention to help save lives and bring hope to those affected by su***de. Donate or register to walk!

Su***de prevention starts when we stop shaming people for struggling and start asking how we can help.

The reality is, su***de is a major public health issue—not a personal failure. In the U.S., it remains one of the leading causes of death, and many people who struggle never reach out because they fear judgment, stigma, or being misunderstood.

Mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use can increase risk—but they are also treatable. Early support, open conversations, and simply feeling heard can make a life-saving difference. Research shows that having even one supportive, nonjudgmental person in someone’s life can significantly reduce su***de risk.
Asking someone “Are you okay?” or “How can I help?” does not put the idea of su***de in their head—in fact, it can do the opposite. It opens the door for honesty, connection, and getting help.
We can all be part of prevention by learning the warning signs, checking in on people, and creating spaces where it’s safe to not be okay. Because sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is listen without judgment and remind someone they’re not alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, to connect with trained counselors 24/7.

More teenagers and young adults die from su***de than from cancer, heart disease, AIDS, birth defects, stroke, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic lung disease, COMBINED.

Each day in our nation, there are an average of over 4,000 attempts by young people in grades 9-12. If these percentages are additionally applied to grades 7 & 8, the numbers would be higher.

Four out of Five individuals considering su***de give some sign of their intentions, either verbally or behaviorally.
