In 2024, American Foundation for Su***de Prevention, The National Alliance for Su***de Prevention, and the Su***de Prevention Resource Center had conducted their bi-annual survey to understand the public’s beliefs and attitudes about mental health and su***de. The survey measured what the public knows about how to support someone who is struggling and their perceptions of barriers to helping someone at risk for su***de.

Overall, the poll indicatedthat we are continuing to make strides, but there is more to do. We must learn more about su***de and mental health particularly through enhanced research efforts, increased public education around su***de prevention, and by advocating for improved access to care and robust crisis services.

91% of survey respondents recorded they perceive mental health as equal to or more important than physical health.

91% reported that they believed su***de can be prevented.

95% reported they would would take action if someone close to them was thinking about su***de.

September is National Su***de Awareness Month, a time to pause, check in, and remind ourselves and the people around us that no one has to face difficult moments alone.

Take a moment to check in with yourself, too. How are you really doing? Give yourself permission to slow down, ask for support, and take care of your mental health.

Don’t be afraid to check in on the people you care about. A quick call, a kind message, or simply letting someone know you’re thinking about them can remind them that they matter and that they’re not alone.

Let’s keep showing up, listening without judgment, and reminding each other that support is always worth reaching for.

Mental health conversations aren’t always easy, but they are important. Asking for support is not a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength.

Let’s continue creating space for open, honest conversations and remind those around us that they don’t have to navigate difficult moments alone.
