💚 September is Su***de Prevention Month
💚 By starting the conversation and providing support to those who need it, we ALL can help prevent su***de and save lives. If you or someone you know is thinking about su***de—whether in crisis or not—call or live chat the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline '1-800-273-TALK (8255)'

💚 To learn more about preventing su***de, visit samhsa.gov/su***de

Today is the start of ***dePreventionMonth! ❤️

Imagine if we could walk together toward a world without su***de. One in which we all have a greater understanding of mental health. One in which we all know how to be there for each other, including ourselves, when someone is struggling.

Together, we can.

Since 2002, our Walks have brought people together to walk through their communities to raise public awareness and funds to support su***de prevention.

Join us all month long (and beyond!), as we continue to make strides in saving lives, and bringing hope, one step at a time, to those affected by su***de.

Su***de prevention starts with all of us, so share this out, comment below, and get involved at afsp.org/nspw.

Thank you to Comcast for supporting our community.

A federal program gives eligible families $30/month towards their internet, which means Comcast subscribers in Harrisburg could get theirs for free!
