💜 September is National Su***de Prevention Month 🩵

This month, we remember those we’ve lost, stand with those who are struggling, and raise our voices to break the stigma around mental health and su***de.

At Thrive, we believe that connection saves lives. Peer supporters bring lived experience, compassion, and hope — reminding others that they don’t have to walk their journey alone.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 for the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline . You are not alone, and recovery is possible!💬

Wellness Tip from Thrive

Awareness saves lives.

Carrying naloxone, checking in on a friend, or simply starting a conversation about overdose can make a powerful difference. Wellness isn’t just about caring for ourselves—it’s also about caring for our community.

Together, we can break stigma, spread hope, and prevent loss. 💜
