September is Suicide Prevention Month

/in /by

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI is made up of more than 700 State Organizations and Affiliates who work to raise awareness, provide support and education to individuals in need. NAMI also helps operate the 988 crisis service! This is a confidential, judgement-free support that is available to anyone 24/7 via call or text. With this month being Suicide Prevention Month, challenge yourself to start a conversation and be the difference. Ask someone how they’re doing and be open to actually listening. Be ready to spread awareness about available crisis resources, especially if someone is in need. These little things can save lives.
