September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about suicide, one of the leading causes of death across all age groups. The campaign emphasizes that prevention is possible, and hope is available for those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Key resources like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provide immediate support through calls or texts, offering help to individuals in crisis. The campaign encourages people to engage in open conversations with loved ones, recognize warning signs, and share available resources to prevent suicide. Community involvement is vital, and learning the risk factors can make a life-saving difference.
