"Suicide is Not An Option: Reach Out for Help Today"
September is Suicide Prevention Month—a time for us to remember each other as we shine a
light on hope, healing, and the power of connection throughout our communities. Too often,
people struggling with suicidal thoughts feel isolated or believe their pain is invisible. But the
truth is: while the struggle can feel unbearable, you are not alone, and your life matters.
Hope is Always Within Reach
Even in the darkest moments, there is a way forward. Healing doesn’t happen overnight, but
small steps—reaching out to a friend, talking to a counselor, or calling a crisis line—can make a
life-changing difference. Asking for help is not a weakness; it’s one of the strongest choices we
can make. Reach out today to someone you know might be struggling or if you are struggling.
The Power of Connection
We all play a role in preventing suicide. A single conversation can plant the seed of hope.
Checking in with a loved one, offering a listening ear, or reminding someone that they matter can
literally save a life. Never underestimate the impact of kindness and sharing it.
Your Story Isn’t Finished
No matter what you’re facing, your story is still unfolding. You have more chapters left to write,
more people to meet, and more moments of joy to experience. Hold on—because tomorrow can
be different.
If You’re Struggling
Help is available right now. In the U.S., dial 9-1-1 for immediate assistance or 988 to connect
with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline—trained counselors are ready to listen 24/7.
This month, let’s stand together to spread hope, fight stigma, and remind each other that every
life has value—including yours.
