September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. In honor of this, our next blog posts will elevate our communal understanding of what suicide prevention looks like. Let's talk about some major prevention categories!
- Language
- Signs and Symptoms
- Groups Most at Risk
- What Can We Do?
- Community Networking for Suicide Prevention
- National and Local Resources
We will go over each of these topics. The last post of this series will provide resources for a range of struggles, from prevention tools to crisis intervention. Stay tuned as we dive into the nuanced and complex topic of suicide prevention. The emphasis will be on how we can help. By showing up for our community, we make a difference. Remember that! See you next week.
