September is recognized as National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, a crucial time dedicated to raising awareness about su***de and its prevention. This month serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health and the support systems available for those in crisis. Communities come together to reduce stigma, encourage open dialogue, and ultimately save lives. This observance highlights the significance of listening, reaching out, and standing together in support of individuals battling suicidal ideations and who are in need of mental health support, reminding us all that help is always available and that no one is truly alone.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or just need someone to share your thoughts with, please know that you’re not alone in this. Help is available, and compassionate support is just a call, text, or chat away. Reach out to 988 to talk to someone who will listen and provide assistance. Don’t hesitate to connect when you need it most.

Call or text 988 for support, or chat 988lifeline.org for judgement-free support.
Also, Eastern Shore Crisis Response Hotline 888.407.8018
Both hotlines are free and confidential, providing 24/7 support and resources.

Learn about the Mid Shore Su***de Coalition and explore su***de education, prevention, awareness, mental health resources, events, and trainings.

End-of-Summer Send-Off & School Supply Giveaway

Our Tri-County Youth wrapped up the summer with a day full of fun, laughter, and memories at Moton Park in Easton! From exciting games and refreshing water activities to enjoying lunch together, it was the perfect way to celebrate the end of a great summer.

And what’s a summer send-off without some crabs?! A huge thank-you to Rusty Hook Bait & Tackle for generously donating crabs for our youth to enjoy!

To help our young people head into the new school year feeling prepared and confident, we also provided school supplies so they could start the year off strong.

Here’s to a new school year filled with learning, growth, new friendships, and success! We’re cheering our youth on every step of the way!

You are more than you think! 💫

You are not your anxious thoughts. Anxiety can lie, distort the truth, and make fear feel like fact, but it does not define who you are. You are still strong, still resilient, and still worthy. Don’t let the negative voice inside take control of your story. 💙💜💙
