Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.
A conversation, a check-in, or simply taking the time to listen can make a meaningful difference for someone who is struggling.
Today, we encourage everyone to help create a community where conversations about su***de and mental health can happen without judgment or shame.
If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of su***de or is in crisis, please reach out for immediate support. You do not have to navigate it alone.

When you're used to taking care of everyone else, prioritizing your own needs can sometimes feel difficult.
But caring for your mental health isn't selfish.
Resting, setting boundaries, asking for support, making time for things that bring you joy, and seeking professional care when you need it can help you continue showing up for yourself and the people around you.
Strong communities are made up of people who deserve care, too. Your mental health matters.
Materials developed through Cooperative Agreement and in partnership with the NYS Office of Mental Health.

New backpack? Check. School supplies? Check. First-day outfit? Check.
There's one more thing worth adding to your back-to-school list: making time to really check in with your child.
Creating regular, judgment-free opportunities for children to talk can help them feel more comfortable coming to a trusted adult when something doesn't feel right.
Try asking questions that go beyond "How was school?" and give your child room to share about friendships, boundaries, experiences, and how they're feeling.
If your family ever needs additional support following concerns of abuse or trauma, BestSelf's Child Advocacy Center provides a safe, child-focused environment to help children and families navigate what comes next.

Some days, caring for your mental health doesn't mean making huge changes. It means taking one small step.
Whether that's stepping outside for fresh air, drinking a glass of water, taking a few deep breaths, or checking in with someone you trust, those moments add up.
Your mental health deserves attention every day, not just during difficult seasons.
What's one small thing you'll do for yourself today?

As kids settle back into school, the adults in their lives have an important opportunity to pay attention.
A sudden or significant change in mood, behavior, sleep, school performance, friendships, or anxiety doesn't automatically mean something is wrong, but it can be a reason to check in.
Create a safe opportunity to talk. Listen without judgment. Let your child know they can come to you when something feels wrong or uncomfortable.
And when a child or family needs additional support following abuse or trauma, they don't have to navigate it alone.
BestSelf's Child Advocacy Center provides coordinated, compassionate support for children and families when they need it most.

September is National Recovery Month.
Throughout the month, we recognize the strength of people in recovery, celebrate their progress, and honor the families, loved ones, peers, and professionals who support them along the way.
Recovery doesn't look the same for everyone. Every step toward healing and a healthier future deserves to be recognized.

It's also an opportunity to recognize the importance of mental health care that respects culture, language, identity, and lived experiences.
At BestSelf, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate support and care where they feel seen, heard, and understood.
