đź’ś September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.
Sometimes the person who seems the strongest is carrying something no one else can see.
This month is a reminder to check on your family, your friends, your coworkers—and even the person who says, “I’m fine.”
In 2023, su***de claimed the lives of more than 49,300 people in the United States. It was also the 2nd leading cause of death for people ages 10–34.
A conversation can matter.
Listening can matter.
Letting someone know they are not alone can matter.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
And this September, let’s do something simple:
Check on your people. Ask twice. Listen without judgment.
