Upcoming events
September is National Suicide Awareness Month!
For many, suffering in silence in their way of life and far too often, they end it because of this. We can work together to help those in need. Lets not go through another silent September. Join us in spreading awareness, but also understanding why 79% of men who suffer with a mental illness end their lives. Stay tuned for events happening in September and help spread the word with #stopsilentseptember
In addition to this month:
September 10th-16th, National Suicide Prevention Week
September 10th, World Suicide Prevention Day
September 14, R U OK? Day.
National Grief Awareness Day
Have you lost someone? Maybe a loved one has passed away or maybe they’re still here. Ambiguous grief can be just as hard and confusing as traditional grief. Whether that’s due to a loved one with Alzehieme’s, a friend who hasn’t returned your calls, a breakup or a person you love with mental illness, it’s okay to not be okay and it’s okay to grieve for them! Visit out resources page for groups, books and support that can help!
