π SEPTEMBER IS SU***DE PREVENTION MONTH π
As we move from August to September, this month is a reminder that every life matters, every story matters, and no one should have to struggle alone.
For the Davis Didham Memorial, su***de prevention is more than something we talk about during the month of September. It is the heart of our mission. π
We believe that mental health awareness and su***de prevention need to start with our youth. Our children spend a significant part of their lives at school, and teachers are often among the people who see them every single day. They can be in a unique position to notice when a young person may be struggling.
That is why one of our priorities is helping provide teachers and school staff with access to mental health resources, education and training, including Mental Health First Aid. Giving educators the tools to recognize the signs that someone may be struggling, know how to start a conversation, and understand where to turn for help can make a difference.
We cannot always see what someone is carrying behind a smile. But we can continue to build communities where people feel safe speaking up and asking for help.
Davis is the reason behind everything we do. We carry him with us as we continue to raise awareness, break the stigma surrounding mental health, and work toward helping other young people and families. π
Check in.
Listen.
Be kind.
Start the conversation.
Because sometimes, one conversation can make a difference.
