Su***de Prevention Month đź’›

September is a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind one another that support matters.

You never truly know what someone is going through—kindness, connection, and checking in can make a difference.

If you’re struggling, you are not alone. Help is available, and your life matters.

✨ Take regular breaks throughout the day
✨ Move your body (walk, stretch, gentle exercise)
✨ Get enough rest and quality sleep
✨ Limit overstimulation (noise, screens, multitasking)
✨ Spend time in calming environments

Supporting your nervous system helps your mind feel more regulated and balanced.

How to Be Less Reactive

Reacting is automatic, responding is intentional.

✨ Pause before you respond
✨ Take a slow breath to calm your body
✨ Name what you’re feeling
✨ Remind yourself: “I don’t have to react right now”
✨ Choose a response that aligns with your values

Creating even a small pause can make a big difference.

Back-to-school nerves? Pretty normal.

But when anxiety starts deciding where you go, what you do, who you talk to, or what you avoid — it’s worth paying attention.

The goal of therapy isn’t to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling. It’s learning how to keep living your life even when those feelings show up.

For some teens and young adults, a little extra support can make a big difference. đź’›

PBC works with teens, college students, and young adults navigating anxiety, school stress, relationships, transitions, and more.

The heartbreaking news in our neighboring community may feel especially heavy today.

When something devastating happens close to home, it can affect people well beyond those directly involved. Children may hear pieces of the story from friends, at school, or online. Parents may find themselves trying to process their own emotions while also figuring out what to say to their kids.

A few things can help:

• Limit repeated exposure to news coverage, videos, and social media — especially for children.

• Let children guide the conversation. Answer what they’re actually asking, honestly and simply, without giving more frightening detail than they need.

• Remind them that they are safe right now and that the adults in their lives are there to take care of them.

• Don’t be surprised by delayed reactions. Fear, sadness, anger, trouble sleeping, increased clinginess, or lots of questions can show up later.

• Adults are allowed to be affected, too. Something does not have to happen to your own family for it to feel frightening, painful, or deeply unsettling.

Most importantly, there isn’t one “right” way to react to something this difficult.

Our thoughts are with the children, families, first responders, schools, and everyone in our community affected by this tragedy.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or su***de crisis, call or text 988 for immediate support.

Mental Health Tip

Not every thought needs a reaction.

Practice noticing your thoughts without immediately believing or acting on them. Creating space between your thoughts and your response can help you feel more in control.

Key Ways to Tell Your Mental Health Has Grown

Growth isn’t always obvious—but it shows up in small, meaningful ways.

✨ You respond instead of react
✨ You set and maintain boundaries
✨ You’re more aware of your emotions
✨ You use coping skills when needed
✨ You give yourself more compassion
✨ You’re able to ask for help

Growth doesn’t mean you never struggle—it means you handle things differently than before.
