September 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day, a time to come together, remember those we have lost, and remind one another that hope and support can make a difference. 💙

At 8 PM, light a candle to show your support for su***de prevention and to honor and remember those who have lost their lives to su***de. Learn more about the Light a Candle initiative through the International Association for Su***de Prevention: https://www.iasp.info/wspd/lightacandle/.

Today, and every day, we can help break the stigma surrounding su***de by starting conversations, sharing resources, and letting those who may be struggling know they are not alone.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

We are thankful for Eric Monday Foundation and all that they do for our community!

988 Day 💙

Three numbers. One powerful reminder: support is always within reach.

On 9/8, we recognize and the importance of making conversations around mental health and su***de prevention easier to start.

Young people don’t always show when they’re struggling. That’s why it’s so important for coaches, parents, teammates, friends, and trusted adults to recognize when someone may need support, and know where to turn when they do.

We’re grateful for partners like HopeLink Behavioral Health, which operates 988 services in our community and helps ensure people in moments of crisis have someone there to listen and connect them with support.

Today, take a moment to check in. Ask the extra question. Listen without judgment. And remind the people in your life that reaching out for help is a sign of strength.

Checking in matters. Knowing where to turn matters, too. Call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Together, we can continue to and make sure more young people know they never have to face a difficult moment alone.
