Start The Conversation
You can make a difference by spreading the word about Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. When you share our outreach resources, you shine a light on an issue that’s been in the dark for far too long – and open the door for important conversations.
In sharing our messages, you’ll create an opportunity to talk about mental health. Together, we can reduce the stigma and shame that some people feel when talking about their struggles.
