WHY WE STEP UP: BECAUSE PEOPLE MATTER.

Sometimes we don't realize how much a simple connection can mean.

A text. A phone call. A conversation. Sitting beside someone. Asking, “How are you really doing?”

We may never know just how much those moments matter to someone who is struggling.

Su***de prevention isn't only about what we do in a crisis. It's also about building a community where people feel seen, heard, valued, and connected.

You matter. And we're glad you're here.

Why do we step up? Because people matter.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call Medina County's 24/7 Crisis & Behavioral Health Helpline at 330-725-9195 OR Text HOME to 741741.

At Alternative Paths, we recognize both National Recovery Month and National Su***de Prevention Month throughout September.

While recovery and su***de prevention are distinct areas of focus, they share something incredibly important: people need connection, support, and hope, especially during life's most challenging moments.

Recovery is possible. Su***de is preventable. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Sometimes, simply knowing someone cares can be the first step toward healing.

This month, we invite our community to:

💜 Check in with someone you care about.
💜 Listen without judgment.
💜 Talk openly about mental health and recovery.
💜 Learn the warning signs and how to respond.
💜 Share resources and remind others that help is available.

At Alternative Paths, we believe recovery is possible, communities can help prevent su***de, and hope can be found even during difficult seasons.

Hope starts with connection.

Need support? Help is available. Call Medina County's 24/7 Crisis & Behavioral Health Helpline at 330-725-9195 OR Text HOME to 741741.

You may start seeing these signs around Medina County over the next month.

That's because we're just one month away from the Step Up to Prevent Su***de Community Walk on September 27.

As summer winds down and students head back to school, adults have an important role to play, too.

One of the smartest ways to help keep kids and communities safe is by promoting secure fi***rm storage. During SMART Week (August 24-28), join us in raising awareness about storing fi***rms unloaded, locked, and separate from am******on.

This week, share the Be SMART message:

* SECURE all guns in homes and vehicles.
* MODEL responsible behavior around guns.
* ASK about the presence of unsecured fi***rms in other homes your child visits.
* RECOGNIZE the role of guns in su***de.
* TELL your peers to Be SMART.

Together, we can help create safer homes, schools, and communities.

Today is National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, a time to remember the individuals whose lives have been lost to fentanyl-related overdoses and to support the families and communities affected by this crisis. Every life lost represents a son or daughter, sibling, parent, friend, or neighbor.

This year's observance highlights the importance of hope, mental wellness, reducing stigma, and connecting people to prevention, treatment, recovery, and support services.

Many overdose deaths involve counterfeit pills containing fentanyl. To reduce your risk, only take medications prescribed to you and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.
