September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, a reminder that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Melody Bonilla, A-LPC/MHSP, MACMHC Behavioral Health Clinician Community Care, shares:

"Recovery begins with one step at a time, and the support you need to succeed. If you are struggling, I want you to remember that you are valuable, cared for, and needed in this world. You don’t have to be in crisis to grow, learn, and change unwanted cycles of behavior."

You don’t have to face life’s difficult moments alone. Take the first step toward feeling better, visit cempa.org.

September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, a reminder that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Madison Mehl, Behavioral Health Clinician at Cempa Community Care, shares:
“You don't have to wait until a crisis to... talk about how you feel! Getting support for prevention is just as important as getting support for recovery after a crisis. There is strength in... vulnerability. Talking about your mental health can feel really scary, and we are here to help at whatever pace feels right to you! "
