We can talk about su***de. In fact, we need to. Normalizing having open, caring conversations about su***de helps to create spaces and communities where people struggling can come forward and access the support they need.
Let's change the narrative. Su***de does not need to be bad word, a secret or something to tip toe around. Su***de is something that touches all of us and one of the most helpful things we can do is talk about it. 🧡

To create su***de safer communities we need everyone to feel comfortable talking about su***de and able to recognize those around them that may be struggling.

Check out our workshop Su***de Education & Awareness (SEA): For Adults to learn how you can start the conversation and support the people around you.

This workshop will be free of charge in recognition of World Su***de Prevention Day.
September 10th, 2026, 6:30pm

In this workshop we will discuss the stigma that surrounds su***de, the importance of normalizing conversations around the topic and how we can support those around us that may be struggling.
