September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

Approximately 134 people every day. Another 14.3 million adults seriously considered su***de, and an estimated 2.2 million attempted su***de.

Those of us who work in medicolegal death investigation understand that these numbers are not simply statistics.

Each one represents a person, a family, a community, and a life story that mattered.

Su***de prevention begins before a crisis. It begins when we check on one another, listen without judgment, recognize changes, take concerns seriously, and remind people that asking for help is not weakness.

If you are struggling - or worried about someone else - call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org. The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline provides free, confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

You matter. Your life matters. Your story is not over.
