September is Suicide Prevention Month — a time to raise awareness of this urgently important crisis. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call, text, or chat 988, immediately (chat available at 988Lifeline.org).

 September is Suicide Prevention Month — a time to raise awareness and discuss this urgently important crisis. In addition to shifting public perception, NAMI uses this month to spread hope and vital information to people affected by suicide and suicidal ideation. Our goal is to ensure that individuals, friends, and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help.

Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or background. While suicidal thoughts are common, they should not be considered normal, and they often indicate more serious issues. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call, text, or chat 988, immediately (chat available at 988Lifeline.org). 988 offers 24/7 judgment-free support for mental health, substance use, and more. Call, text, or chat 988. Please contact the School Counselors or Student Services department for valuable resources to support mental health.
