September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, dedicated to sharing resources, reducing stigma, and encouraging open conversations about mental health.
*Immediate Crisis Help: Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (free and confidential).
*Learn the Signs: Watch for warning signs like extreme mood swings, talking about feeling hopeless, or withdrawing from loved ones.
*Connect and Engage: Participate in local community events, share resources from organizations like NAMI or the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and check in on friends and family.
In honor of Suicide Prevention and Recovery Month, follow our Connecting to Care CT social media pages for daily posts that increase awareness and promote self-care activities.
