  • September is Suicide Prevention Month

    September is Suicide Prevention Month

    All day
    September 1, 2024

    If you or someone you know is in crisis, call, text, or chat 988, immediately (chat available at 988Lifeline.org).
    » 988 offers 24/7 judgment-free support for mental health, substance use, and more. Call, text, or chat 988

    September is Suicide Prevention Month — a time to raise awareness and discuss this urgently
    important crisis. In addition to shifting public perception, NAMI uses this month to spread hope
    and vital information to people affected by suicide and suicidal ideation. Our goal is ensuring
    that individuals, friends, and families have access to the
    resources they need to discuss suicide prevention
    and to seek help.

    Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health
    conditions, can affect anyone regardless of
    age, gender, or background. While suicidal
    thoughts are common, they should not be
    considered normal, and they often indicate
    more serious issues.
