September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a reminder that reaching out can change a life. Prevention begins with connection. Checking in with someone, sharing how you’re really doing, or asking for help are powerful steps toward safety and healing. If you’re carrying heavy thoughts or feeling isolated, a compassionate conversation can help you find a way forward.
