Today is 988 day. 988 Day is a national initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline and the importance of mental health and su***de prevention.

The theme for 988 Day 2026 is 988 Reasons: Your reason is reason enough. The theme is a reminder that you don’t have to be in crisis to reach out to 988. Whatever you’re facing—big or small—your reason for seeking support is reason enough.

During Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, MHMRCV will post a weekly theme regarding su***de prevention awareness. Week 2's theme is: "Support Saves Lives: Connecting People to Crisis Support and Resources "

*988 is there for anyone who is struggling, not only for people in a full crisis. Feeling overwhelmed or in emotional pain is reason enough to reach out.

*A real person answers every call, text, and chat to 988. The support is free, confidential, and available any time of day or night.

*988 is available in Spanish, for Veterans, for deaf and hard of hearing callers via ASL Videophone and chat, and in more than 150 languages. Help is there for everyone.

*Knowing about 988 before you need it, and sharing it with the people in your life, is one of the most important things any of us can do.

*Crisis care goes beyond 988. Mobile crisis teams, stabilization centers, and community behavioral health clinics are part of a network that helps people through their hardest moments.

*Reaching out early, to a trusted person, a provider, or 988, before things reach a breaking point leads to better outcomes and more paths forward.

During Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, MHMRCV will post a weekly theme regarding su***de prevention awareness. Week 1's theme is: "Cultivating Connection Nationwide: Strengthen Su***de Prevention Together."

*The people in our lives can be a lifeline. Strong relationships and trusted connections help protect people when life gets hard.

*Su***de prevention starts long before a crisis. Open conversations, shared resources, and visible awareness make a real difference.

*Knowing the warning signs of su***de, in adults and in children and teens, means being able to recognize when someone needs support and connect them to help sooner.

*Communities that talk openly about mental health and su***de help reduce the stigma that keeps people from asking for help.

*Prevention is everyone’s responsibility, not just one organization’s. Families, schools, workplaces, faith communities, health systems, and individuals all have a role to play.

*Small acts of connection, such as a check-in, a shared resource, a moment of genuine attention, are how communities take care of each other.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. The overall theme this year is: "Stronger Together: Connect. Support. Prevent."

Su***de prevention is not one moment or one person's job. It lives in the relationships we build, the support we offer, and the communities we create together. This year's theme highlights the importance of:

*Strengthening connections that protect people before a crisis occurs
*Making sure everyone knows where to turn and knows it before they need it
*Building communities where people feel safe reaching out for help
*Supporting recovery and healing long after a crisis has ended

Su***de prevention touches every part of life – from families and schools to workplaces, faith communities, and health care systems. When people feel connected, valued, and supported, they are more likely to seek help. And when communities come together around a shared commitment to prevention, lives are saved.

💜 **SU***DE AWARENESS & PREVENTION MONTH STARTS TOMORROW** 💜

September is a time to come together as a community—not just to raise awareness, but to **start conversations, reduce stigma, recognize the signs, and remind one another that no one has to face a difficult moment alone.**

The Concho Valley has some incredible opportunities to get involved this month and next, and we are excited to see our community showing up for one another. 💜🩵
