💚 September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month 💚

This month, we come together to raise awareness, spread hope, and break the stigma surrounding mental health and su***de.

You never know what someone else is going through. A kind word, a check-in, or simply listening can make all the difference.

🧠 Mental health matters.
🫂 You are not alone.
📞 If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.

988 is the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline — free, confidential support 24/7.

Let’s look out for one another. Let’s be the reason someone stays.

First week of school: cool, fun, new backpack
Second week of school: every trigger is popping up at once

The beginning of the school year can be filled with lots of emotions and stressors. We help teens handle cravings, triggers, and peer pressure—so they can stay on track all year long.

💬 You can find us one day a week at the high school and middle school to meet with youth right where they are.

🍎 Back-to-school choices teens face:

We can help with the last one!!

💬 We’re available one day a week at the high school and middle school so youth can get support without missing too much class time.

🎒 The Ultimate Teen Back-to-School Starter Pack!

Eckert is thankful for incredible community partners like Williston High School and Williston Middle School, who welcome our counselors to meet with students right at school.
This support helps remove transportation barriers, reduces the need for parents to miss work, and gives kids the opportunity to take a break during the day to talk about triggers, cravings, emotions and healthy coping strategies.
We can’t wait for another amazing school year!
