September is #SuicidePreventionAwareness Month, and today, September 10, marks World Suicide Prevention Day.This day is a reminder of the importance of mental health and the crucial role we all play in supporting one another. Your Health & Wellness departments have come together to create a full week of programs, events, and resources dedicated to honoring those we’ve lost to suicide and raising awareness about suicide prevention.
Throughout this week, you’ll find a variety of opportunities to engage, learn, and support one another. From meet & greet sessions with out counselors to a keynote address by mental health advocates, each event is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to help prevent suicide. We’ll also be hosting fun events like De-Stress with Pets, Sound Bath & Yoga, and other activities aimed at fostering a supportive community and reducing the stigma around mental health issues.
In addition to these events, we’re providing resources that you can access at any time, including hotlines, counseling services, and information on recognizing the signs of someone in distress. We believe that by coming together, we can make a difference.
Let’s use this week to raise awareness, educate ourselves, and support those around us. Remember, you’re not alone, and help is always available. Join us in this vital effort to prevent suicide and promote mental wellness in our community.
