Did you know this?
When referring to someone who has killed themselves, it’s better to say they have “died by su***de” instead of saying they “committed su***de”. This small change in language has a huge impact in saving lives!
Research has shown that the term “committed” has a negative connotation associated with it, making people who have suicidal thoughts feel guilty for how they are feeling. If they feel like they will be greeting with shame instead of comfort and understanding when reaching out for help, they may never take the necessary steps in getting help.
If you’ve used the phrase “committed su***de”, it’s okay! Safe language is something we have to learn about. Moving forward, if you are talking about someone who has lost their life to su***de, try talking about it without the harsh word of “committed”. You never know who around you will notice and appreciate your care in safe language! 💕

Happy Graduation to our three Locking Arms seniors — Tatum, Emerson, and Sagan! 🎓

We have been incredibly fortunate to have each of them as part of our team. As they graduate high school this year, we couldn’t be more proud of all they have accomplished and all that lies ahead for them. Their hard work, kindness, and dedication have made a lasting impact on Locking Arms, and we are so excited to see where life takes them next.

Please join us in congratulating these amazing seniors!
