Muskingum County Suicide Prevention Coalition

Sometimes, the people who seem to have it all together are carrying the heaviest loads.
They smile, they show up, they keep going — and no one sees the storm behind their eyes.

When a life is lost to su***de, it ripples through families, classrooms, workplaces, and entire communities. It reminds us that mental health doesn’t always look like sadness, and strength doesn’t always mean someone is okay.

Now more than ever, let’s check on one another. Not just when someone is struggling openly — but also when everything seems fine. Ask the hard questions. Listen without judgment. Remind the people in your life that they matter.

💛 You are not alone. Help is here.
Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
If you’re worried about someone, reach out — your call, your question, your presence could save a life.

🌹💜 A huge thank you to Billy White and the Red Rose Tattoo crew! Billy’s participation in Cheers for Charity raised $1,240 for the Red Rose Fund, which helps support families in Muskingum County after a su***de loss.

Your continued generosity and partnership mean the world. 💛

Did you know that su***de remains a persistent concern for young people in Ohio? For 2023, it was the second-leading cause of death for Ohioans aged 10–14 and 20–34. The MCACPS Assessment unit stands together to share the message of hope and that YOU MATTER 💜🩵.

💜🌍 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Across the globe and right here at home, too many lives are cut short by su***de. Rural communities like ours feel this pain deeply—but we also carry the power to change it.
Prevention starts with connection: a check-in with a friend, a conversation that breaks the silence, a reminder that no one has to struggle alone. Every action, no matter how small, can be life-saving.
Today, let’s honor those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and commit to being a voice of hope.
If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line, or chat via 988lifeline.org. Help is available—24/7, free, and confidential.

Together, we can create a community where every life is valued and every story matters. 💛
