💙 Thinking about volunteering on a crisis line?

After a full month of Su***de Awareness activities, we’ve been hearing more questions about what it takes to join our crisis line team. You don’t need to have all the answers before you start.

Our training teaches volunteers how to ☎️ listen and support callers through difficult conversations.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at what we look for in crisis line volunteers and the commitment that comes with answering the line.

Sometimes, courage means showing up and allowing yourself to be seen, even when you don't know what comes next.

If you're struggling, you don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out. When you're ready, tell someone you trust what you're going through. Let them be there for you. You deserve to have support while you're going through a difficult time.

If you or someone you know needs support, SCC is here 24/7.

Mentioning "social work" can sound intimidating or confusing when you don't know what the job entails. Yet behind every role is someone dedicated to finding the best way forward for individuals and families in need.

Here are five essential ways social workers serve our North Texas community:

1️⃣ Crisis Intervention & Support – Standing by individuals facing emotional crises with immediate, compassionate guidance.

2️⃣ School & Youth Mental Health – Providing mental health check-ups and su***de prevention training for students and staff.

3️⃣ Grief & Loss Debriefing – Facilitating debriefing sessions and grief support for schools, businesses, and families after a crisis.

4️⃣ Healthcare & Resource Guidance – Helping people navigate complex medical and mental health systems to get the care they deserve.

5️⃣ Community Education & Training – Teaching community members and law enforcement how to recognize warning signs and respond effectively.

Some of these roles are very similar to the offerings at SCC. We appreciate the care that they provide in our community. Tag a social worker in the 💬 comments to give them a quick shoutout for the work they do!

Today is National Depression Screening Day, and teens are often an overlooked portion of the population.

Depression in young people can be easy to miss, but teens are always 🫂 communicating. Sometimes with words and sometimes through their actions. They need adults who are willing to listen.

It's important to give young people a safe space to talk and know they're being heard. When they know they can speak openly, they're more likely to reach out when they need support.

🎧 Listen as Lavida shares why hearing our teens matters.

SCC facilitates mental health screening for youth; learn more about this program >> https://www.sccenter.org/programs-and-services/for-teens/teens-can-survive/

October 4–10 is Mental Illness Awareness Week, a time dedicated to open conversation, community education, and support. We want to give a special shout-out to NAMI for their national leadership, advocacy, and guidance for families navigating mental health conditions.

Raising awareness around mental health and su***de prevention creates real change across our communities:

💜 Reduces Stigma: Openly discussing mental health removes the taboo around seeking help.

💜 Early Recognition: Public education helps friends, teachers, and families spot warning signs early.

💜 Breaks Isolation: Sharing resources reminds people in distress that they aren't carrying their struggles alone.

💜 Builds Community: Open dialogue fosters ongoing connection and healing for individuals and families.

If you or someone you care about needs a listening ear, our 24/7 Crisis Line is always open at (214) 828-1000.

Throughout September, our community gathered across DFW for Su***de Awareness Month.

We collaborated on North Texas Giving Day, attended CareFest, marked World Su***de Prevention Day, and held a Remembrance Day event. The shoes pictured here were brought by community members in memory of those they love. This was a beautiful gathering of kindness and passion.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, honored a loved one, donated, and supported our cause throughout Su***de Awareness Month. We are grateful for you.

📞 If you or someone you know needs support, our crisis line is open 24/7 at 214-828-1000.

Healing doesn't happen on the same ⏳️ timeline for everyone. Having a place where people understand your loss can make a difficult path feel a little less lonely.

The Survivors of Su***de (SOS) support groups bring together people who have experienced the loss of a loved one to su***de. Through shared experiences, participants find connection, 🫂 understanding, and support.
