September is Su***de Prevention Month.
Su***de prevention isn’t just about knowing what to say in a crisis. It’s about creating spaces where people feel safe enough to say, “I’m not okay,” and knowing someone will listen without judgment.
Sometimes prevention looks like checking in on a friend. Sometimes it means asking directly, “Are you thinking about su***de?” Sometimes it means helping someone find professional support when things feel too heavy to carry alone.
Talking about su***de does not put the idea in someone’s head. It can open the door to connection, support, and safety.
If you’re struggling, you don’t have to wait until things become unbearable to ask for help. Your pain deserves support, and you deserve to be here.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
This month, and every month, let’s make it a little easier to talk about the hard things.
