Suicide Prevention Month, 2023: Awareness and Support

Open Conversations About Suicide Are Important

Throughout this month, we join hands with organizations nationwide to raise awareness and promote open conversations about suicide. Our mission is not only to change public perceptions but also to offer a glimmer of hope and invaluable resources to those affected by suicide. We want you, your friends, and your families to know that support is within reach, and that you are not alone.

Support is Within Reach

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, Call or text 988 immediately.

If you are uncomfortable talking on the phone, you can chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at https://988lifeline.org/

Deaf or Hard of Hearing ASL users can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) from their videophone to reach ASL services. In coming weeks, they will also be able to access the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by direct dialing to 988 from a videophone.

To you health and happiness,
