As Su***de Prevention Month comes to a close, the conversation shouldn’t.

September serves as an important reminder to check on the people around us, but that care and concern should continue throughout the year.

Take the time to reach out to a friend, family member, coworker, or neighbor. Ask how they’re doing—and take the time to truly listen. Sometimes simply knowing that someone cares can make a difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling or experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The month may be ending, but looking out for one another never should. 💜
