September is Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month - a time to remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge the millions more who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families and communities that have been impacted by suicide. It's also a time to raise awareness about suicide prevention and share messages of hope.
During September, and throughout the year, we can care about suicide prevention; connect to community, culture, data, and research; and collaborate with other to address this public health problem that has impacted millions of Americans. (from https://www.samhsa.gov)
