🌟 September is National Su***de Prevention Month 🌟

This month, let’s come together to raise awareness, offer support, and break the stigma surrounding mental health. Each of us has the power to make a difference—whether it’s by checking in with a friend, sharing resources, or simply listening with empathy.

Remember, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and no one should face their struggles alone. If you or someone you know is in need of immediate help, reach out to the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988. This 24/7 service is here to offer support and guidance whenever you need it.

Together, we can create a world where everyone feels valued and supported. Let’s be the light in someone’s life this September and beyond. ✨

What a day! The Women United 3rd Annual Breaking Barriers Building Women Luncheon was inspiring, fun, rewarding and amazing. A beautiful celebration of the power of women united, featuring former Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. A remarkable panel of business leaders joined Ms. Franklin to discuss barriers, solutions and the value of being intentional.

Thanks to our sponsors, Amicable Divorce Network and Shipley Do-Nuts, to our panelists - Jalynn Barr, Cynthia Lopez, Nicole O’Rear, and Dr. Cindy Salloum - and to our guests.

A partnership that makes a difference!

Join United Way of Forsyth County (Georgia) and Forsyth County Schools in supporting our students’ overall health. Healthy students make thriving learners.

📚✨ Did You Know? ✨📚
In partnership with Forsyth County Schools, United Way of Forsyth County is committed to supporting our students' overall health by providing crucial funding for on-site therapeutic services. When costs were beyond what families could afford, we stepped in!

In 2023 alone, we invested $37,081 into this program, facilitating approximately 620 therapeutic sessions for our students.

As we gear up for the new school year, let’s remember that school readiness goes beyond having the right supplies. 🏫✏️ It’s also about ensuring our kids have the mental health support they need. As students head back to school next week, filled with excitement and a touch of nervousness, let's support their emotional well-being as much as their academic success.
