Today, September 10, 2026, is World Su***de Prevention Day.
Olmsted Medical Center recognizes the impact that su***de can have on individuals and communities. Starting a conversation and genuinely asking, "How are you doing?" can make a difference.
Sharing your own mental health journey with a family member or trusted friend creates space for healing. Talking about su***de is not harmful, but silence can make people feel isolated and alone. One honest, caring conversation can increase a sense of connection and hope. You do not need to have the right words, but you can help connect a person in crisis with a trained mental health professional.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing an immediate crisis, please call 988. If you are not in crisis but are concerned about your mental health, now is the time to reach out for support.
Be the difference.
