September is a lot of things. The beginning of Autumn. Labor Day. National Recovery Month. Fun Fact: "Recovery" doesn't only pertain to drugs or alcohol, it's also for mental health. But, we want to bring attention to Su***de Prevention. In Missouri, the su***de rate for Veterans is more than double the National average. It is stated that more than 1,100 people in MO will commit su***de in 2026. As a community, we can do better. Pay attention to your family, friends, neighbors, check on the elderly and the homeless. Google signs of su***de and simply keep an eye on others. And, while you're at it, take care of yourself, too. Remember 988 is not just for suicidal ideation, it's for any type of crisis situation.
Tomorrow Needs You.
