Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

This year’s message is simple: Start the conversation.

Talking openly about mental health and su***de can help reduce stigma and make it easier for someone to ask for help. Check in. Listen without judgment. Let the people in your life know they don’t have to struggle alone.

If you or someone you know needs immediate emotional support, call or text 988.

Protective factors can make a real difference in a young person’s life. 💜

Strong relationships, healthy coping skills, access to mental health care and supportive communities can all help build resilience and reduce su***de risk.

For parents, caregivers, teachers and other trusted adults, one of the most important things we can do is stay connected, notice when something seems different and make it clear that it’s always okay to ask for help.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 for support.
