Today is the last day of September, which is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. We want to end our series with a reminder that it takes all of us to prevent su***de, through open conversation, sharing resources, and promoting help seeking. We honor the lives of those we've lost to su***de by doing this work, and hope that this movement provides support to those who are su***de loss survivors as well. If you or someone you know is struggling and needs support, YouthLine is open everyday from 4-10pm PST, 7p-1a ET, and 1p-7p HT.

As Su***de Prevention Awareness Month comes to an end, we want to acknowledge how scary it can be to have a friend who is struggling with thoughts of su***de. It can be so hard to feel like we don't know how to help, and the fear of making things worse is normal. Here are some ideas of where to start if you're worried about a friend, and if you have questions, our YouthLine volunteers are here to brainstorm more ideas of how to support yourself and your friends.

Today for Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we'll be talking about understanding su***de risk and the ways suicidal ideation might show up in ourselves and those around us. Having open conversations about su***de and what it means to us is crucial to preventing su***de. While we may not always know when someone is struggling, we can take small steps to show that there is hope. Stay tuned for more Su***de Prevention Awareness Month content!

One of the most common questions we get about YouthLine is about how teen and young adult volunteers/interns run a crisis line on their own. The answer is, they don't! The backbone of our program is our clinical team. Our adult supervisors work super hard to make sure we're offering the best support possible to not only our contacts, but our amazing volunteers/interns! Swipe to learn a little bit more about how our supervising team does their job.
