Take Action Suicide Prevention Month Toolkit
This September, we can make a big difference for our community by recognizing when someone is lonely and reaching out to them. Simple acts of kindness or a conversation can be the turning point for someone feeling alone. During Suicide Prevention Month, let’s focus on spreading “Love Over Loneliness.” Building strong connections and supporting each other can make others feel valued and cared for. This month, we honor National Recovery Month, Suicide Prevention Week, and World Suicide Prevention Day. During Suicide Prevention Month this September, we want to take special care of our friends, family, loved ones, and other people in our lives who may be struggling with alcohol or other substances.
