Sept 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day and we wanted to highlight an often overlooked demographic.

Did you know that men over the age of 85 have the highest rate of su***de? Researchers site the reasons for this could be because of:
· Loss of spouse
· Alcohol abuse
· High depression risk
· Personal experience with other su***des
· Psychological rigidity
· Loss of occupation
· Mood disorder

It’s ok to need and ask for help. Mental health treatment can:
· Diagnosis and treat mood disorders
· Teach ways to cope with out substances
· Manage pain
· Process grief
· Prepare for life transitions and end of life

Let’s removing the stigma of psychotherapy as well as uproot cultural ideas regarding coping, sense of self, and hegemonic-masculinity scripts. If you or someone you love is contemplating su***de, please call 988. If it’s an emergency please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Covenant Family Solutions is here to help too.

The Board of Supervisors recognize September 2026 as Su***de Awareness and Prevention Month in Story County. More than 48,000 people died by su***de across the United States in each year, with an average of 132 su***des completed daily. We encourage all residents to take the time to understand the importance of mental health education and recognize that taking care of ourselves and others includes taking care of mental health. 💚

Thank you to Roxanne Petersen and Jensyn Hall with NAMI Central Iowa for attending today to accept the proclamation. Roxanne shared a quote that I think we all can think about - "Hope starts with conversation, and every conversation has the potential to save a life."

🚨🚨NEW THERAPIST ALERT🚨🚨
Meet Holly Thompson, LMSW

Holly has a deep understanding of the importance of support during times of struggle. She believes that her role as a therapist is to provide this constantly, along with plenty of encouragement and patience. This mindset allows for trust, connection, and emotional safety within the therapeutic relationship.

Holly applies a holistic, evidence-informed approach, integrating neuroscience, somatic practices, and parts-work that moves clients towards insight and understanding. She believes that our stories, emotions, and physical experiences are deeply interconnected. Given this mindset, Holly often guides her clients towards healing through body-based awareness and inner-child work. She applies trauma-informed principles with patience and compassion that leads to healing and growth.

Meet Melinda Wadsley, LMHC

Melinda has been in the mental field since 2009. Over time she has learned that people grow and progress the most when they are met with compassion and understanding. She believes that part of her job is also to challenge patients when she senses incongruence. Melinda’s ability to balance acceptance with a supporting nudge is what makes her an exceptional clinician.
