September marks National Suicide Prevention Month. All month, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members unite to promote suicide prevention awareness.  This year, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s message is #BeThe1To which helps spread the word about actions we all can take to prevent suicide.

World Suicide Prevention Day is Sept. 10 and all are called to remember those affected by suicide, to raise awareness and to focus on efforts directing treatment to those who need it most.
