September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month🎗️

According to the CDC, Su***de is the second-leading cause of death among young people, and, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, was the tenth-leading cause of death in the nation. Every year in the U.S., more people die by su***de than in car accidents, and more su***de deaths occur than homicide and AIDS deaths combined.

Death by su***de not only affects the person who died, but also others - “su***de survivors” - who cared deeply about the person. While there is no easy way to grieve, it is often helpful to understand what you might experience as well have access to resource information. Visit www.healthyhorns.utexas.edu/coping-with-loss-after-su***de.html to learn more about coping, grieving, and warning signs of someone who may be struggling with suicidal thoughts.

Are you or someone you know struggling? You’re not alone and there is help available. Call or text 988 the new National Su***de Prevention Hotline to be connected to a trained counselor. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting you, provide support, and connect you to resources if necessary. In need of a therapist?
