September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, encourage conversations about mental health, and remind people that help and hope are available. Su***de prevention does not belong only to mental health professionals or organizations; it is something we can all be part of.

09/01/2026

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. This month, let's each find a way…big or small…to make a positive impact. Talk about mental health with your family. Check in on a friend. Learn and share the warning signs. Share mental health resources. Volunteer or participate in a su***de prevention event in your community. Every conversation helps break the stigma. Every shared resource can connect someone to help. Every act of compassion matters.

What will you do this month to bring awareness to su***de prevention?

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 in the U.S. to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

Time moves on, but I stay still,

More than 1 in 5 U.S. adults lives with a mental illness, according to NAMI. Mental health challenges are more common than many of us realize, and sometimes the people closest to us are struggling silently. Take the time to check in with your loved ones, not just by asking how they're doing, but by creating a safe, judgment-free space where they feel comfortable sharing what they're truly feeling and experiencing. Your support may be an important bridge during a difficult time. Listen with compassion. Remind them that they don't have to face their struggles alone. Encourage them to seek professional help when needed. Sometimes simply being there can make a meaningful difference.

If you or someone you love is struggling with their mental health, please reach out to a mental health professional. In the United States, you can also call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support 24/7.

Talking about su***de can save lives. It’s okay to ask difficult questions; doing so does not introduce the idea of su***de, but instead creates a safe space for someone to share what they’re experiencing.

When we listen without judgment and respond with compassion, we help others feel seen, supported, and less alone, while reminding them that help is available.

If you need immediate support, you can call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. You deserve support, understanding, and care.

Taking care of yourself means caring for your mind as well as your body. Give yourself permission to slow down, rest, and prioritize your mental well-being. You deserve the same care and compassion that you so often give to others.

Here are 5 ways to care for your mental health:

1. Stay connected. Spend time with people who make you feel supported and heard.

2. Move your body. Go for a walk, exercise, stretch, or do any physical activity that lifts your mood.

3. Practice mindfulness. Take a few deep breaths, journal, pray, meditate, or try a grounding exercise to help calm your mind.

4. Prioritize rest. Quality sleep and taking breaks are essential for your emotional well-being.

5. Ask for help when you need it. Talk to someone you trust or reach out to a mental health professional. You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone.

If you are in the United States and need immediate emotional support, you can also call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Trained counselors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide free, confidential support.

Grief speaks. Love Answers. Grief changes us, but love never leaves us.

Grieving You: Poems of Love and Loss is a deeply personal collection of poems written after the loss of my stepdaughter, Kathy, to su***de. Each poem was born from love, heartbreak, remembrance, and the hope that even in our darkest moments, healing is possible.

Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, I hope that these words remind you that you are not alone and your love for them never ends.
