World Su***de Prevention Day is a reminder that connection matters. We appreciate Johnson County Mental Health Center for promoting awareness and encouraging support for those who may be struggling.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Su***de prevention starts with connection. A conversation. A check-in. Making space for someone to say they’re struggling and reminding them they don’t have to carry it alone.

This year’s theme, “Changing the Narrative on Su***de,” calls on all of us to move away from silence and stigma and toward openness, understanding and support.

You don’t need the perfect words to reach out. Ask how someone is really doing. Listen without judgment. Remind them that they matter. Help them connect with support when they need it.

And if you’re the one struggling today, your reason is reason enough. Call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline anytime, 24/7.
