September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month is a reminder that a simple check in can help someone feel seen, supported and safe enough to seek help. That’s why open, empathetic conversations matter. They reduce stigma, foster connection, and create pathways to care.
