Today (Sept 10) is Suicide Prevention day.

September is Suicide Prevention month

This year’s theme is “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”.

Each life lost has profound social, emotional, and economic consequences, deeply affecting families, friends, workplaces, and entire communities.

The 9-8-8 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7.

The 9-8-8 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline connects users with trained counselors who offer crisis support and provide access to community-based resources.

Since 988 made its debut, chat and text options have been added in Spanish, along with specialized services for veterans.
