💛 September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do to help a loved one who is struggling is simply to be present. Your presence matters more than you know.

Let’s work together to:
⚠️ Recognize the warning signs
💬 Normalize help-seeking
✅ Remind others that treatment and healing are possible

If you or someone you love is struggling, there is help and there is hope.
📱 Crisis Text Line: Text MHA to 741741
📞 Call 988 – the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline

💛 Even when things feel broken or uncertain, God is already at work behind the scenes. He brings new life out of dry places and carves a path forward where we see none.
