September is National Su***de Prevention Month 🤎

This month, let’s make checking in on each other a little more normal. Ask the question. Listen without judgment. Make the call. Send the text. Let someone know they don’t have to go through a difficult moment alone.

You never know how much a simple “How are you really doing?” can mean.

NEED SUPPORT? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness

📞 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
Call or text 988 for free, confidential, 24/7 crisis support. You can also contact 988 if you’re worried about someone else.
