NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH
For all of September, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members unite to promote suicide prevention awareness. It is also important to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to resources they need to discuss suicide prevention.
