Every Conversation Makes a Difference -

September has been Su***de Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around having honest, open conversations that can foster hope and healing.

09/25/2025

You don’t need to be an expert to save a life.
Every act of listening, every check-in, and every outpouring of care and concern makes a difference when it comes to su***de prevention. Su***de prevention is complex; it’s not always predictable, it’s not always preventable. Our goal is to help you understand the warning signs and take steps to guide individuals towards the help they need because knowing how to respond can save lives.

Supporting someone in recovery is often about being present, patient, and open. Listening without judgment can be one of the most powerful gifts you offer. Take time to learn about harm reduction approaches and the resources available in your community. Encourage access to treatment, and when possible, help your loved one explore healthy coping strategies and stress-reduction techniques that feel safe and realistic for them.

We invite you to join us in honoring Phil’s legacy by becoming an advocate for those in recovery, both in your own circles and within the wider community.

Advocacy can take many forms:
✔ Educating yourself about addiction and recovery
✔ Attending community events
✔ Volunteering your time
✔ Creating a safe space where conversations about trauma, mental health, and substance use can happen without fear or stigma.

Every action, no matter how small it may feel, has the potential to make a meaningful difference.
Recovery is not a solitary journey. Don’t let anyone walk alone.

This month’s blog begins with a personal story of a life lost to overdose. It was shared with us and written by Anena Hansen, Project Manager at Trauma Responsive Monadock.

“I didn’t end up working at Trauma Responsive Monadnock because there were no better options on Indeed.

Like most people, my vision for creating a trauma-informed community was inspired by my past.

My various adverse childhood experiences brought me to alcohol addiction as an adult. Then, when I was five years sober and thought I kind of had a handle on this trauma stuff, I got the snot kicked out of me by the sudden death of my life partner.”

July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

This national observance was founded in 2008 in honor of Bebe Moore Campbell, a best-selling author, advocate, and trailblazer in the movement for mental health equity. Bebe used her platform to tell the often-unheard stories of Black Americans navigating racism, injustice, and the hidden wounds of mental illness.

A fierce advocate until her passing in 2006, Bebe helped shine a light on the double stigma many people of color face: the societal stigma surrounding mental illness and the cultural pressures to remain silent about it. She believed in the power of story, connection, and compassionate care. Her legacy lives on, and the work to create equal access for all continues to be necessary.

Mental Health is a Human Right -

Many of our monthly newsletters and blogs are dedicated to a month of awareness. It’s not lost on us that the very reason these months exist is that awareness does not. So many individuals do not receive the care and attention they deserve. The care and attention that is their human birthright. Th...
