💙 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

Su***de prevention starts with connection. Checking in, listening without judgment, knowing the warning signs and helping someone find support can make a difference.

At NAMI Ohio, we believe no one should have to navigate a mental health crisis alone. Today, and throughout Su***de Prevention Month, we encourage Ohioans to learn more about su***de prevention, share resources and remind the people in their lives that help and hope are available.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Support is available 24/7.

Learn more about su***de prevention and find resources from NAMI:

Each September, NAMI recognizes Su***de Prevention Month to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time.

988 Lifeline is here for you, whatever your reason, for any stress you may be facing. Call, text, or chat to 988 anytime!

988 Day is an opportunity to raise awareness and support for the Lifeline through creative community activities. Learn how to get involved and make a difference ➡️ https://bit.ly/4g9Jx8j ***dePreventionMonth

As we get ready to begin Su***de Prevention Month this September, it’s a good time to remember that we all have a role to play in preventing su***de. 💜

While we can’t always predict when someone may be in crisis, knowing the warning signs can help us recognize when a friend, family member or loved one may need support — especially when changes in behavior are new, increasing or connected to a painful event, loss or major life change.

Take a few minutes to learn the warning signs. Knowing what to look for — and how to respond — can make a difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call, text or chat 988 for free, confidential support 24/7.

Learn more about su***de warning signs:

Some warning signs may help you determine if a loved one is at risk for su***de, especially if their behavior is new, has increased, or seems related to a painful event, loss, or change.
