Hi everyone,

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

Week 2: Let’s Ask, Listen & Support

A simple question like “How are you really doing?” can be a meaningful way to check in, listen, and show someone they are cared for and not alone.

Supporting someone doesn’t have to be difficult:

- Ask & listen openly: Give someone space to share what they’re going through.
- Be there & show support: Let them know they don’t have to face difficult times alone.
- Help keep them safe: Take concerns seriously and help connect them with support.
- Help them connect: Encourage reaching out to trusted people and resources.
- Follow up & stay connected: A simple check-in can make a difference.

You don’t need to have all the answers. Just start talking.

Take a moment to check in with someone you care about today.

Need Support? Call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Hi everyone,

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

Week 1: Let's Start the Conversation

A simple question like "What's been going on?" can be a meaningful way to check in, connect, and show someone they are cared for and not alone.

Starting a conversation doesn't have to be difficult:

Reach out to a family member, friend, counselor, or someone you trust.
When you're struggling, asking for support is okay.
Need Support? Call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Thank you for helping us spread awareness and support our community.

Warm regards,
