📣 Our partners are hosting a rally tomorrow to say NO to gerrymandering. Why does it matter? Because when politicians manipulate district lines, they silence our voices – and that puts every freedom, including reproductive freedom, at risk.

Join us tomorrow to stand up for fair maps, fair votes, and the freedom to make our own choices.

📍 MO State Capitol, Jefferson City @ noon

IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY💙

Too often, people experiencing suicidal thoughts also carry shame or fear of judgment. That stigma can keep them from reaching out for the help they deserve.

🌟 But we can change that:

- Talk openly about mental health and su***de.
- Listen without judgment.
- Remind friends, coworkers, and family that asking for help is a sign of strength.

The more we normalize these conversations, the easier it becomes for someone to say, “I need help.” And that conversation could save a life.

📞 Need someone to talk to? Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline — available 24/7, free & confidential.

***dePreventionWeek is a powerful reminder that every life matters and that support can make all the difference. 💛

At Shatterproof, we know that access to help saves lives. That’s why we’re sharing the 24/7 mental health crisis support hotline, for anyone in need or anyone looking to support a loved one.

Su***de impacts families, friends, and communities. By staying informed, connecting with others, and offering support, we can help reduce stigma and create pathways to hope and healing.

Tools for Kids is a valuable resource to read with children who are impacted by the disease of addiction. These kids deserve to have a safe, caring adult sit with them, remind them they are not alone, and read this together.https://nacoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Tools_for_Kids.pdf
