May is almost over. But if you’ve learned anything this Mental Health Awareness Month, we hope it’s this: the calendar doesn’t get to decide when your mental health matters. 💚

It matters on a Tuesday in October.
It matters on a hard day in February.
It matters right now.

NSSPC is here 365 days a year, connecting Nebraskans to resources, training, and hope. That doesn’t pause when the month ends.

So as we close out May, here’s our ask:

✨ Keep the conversation going.
✨ Check in on the people around you.
✨ Reach out if you’re struggling — you don’t have to wait for awareness month to ask for help.

Nebraska needs you. And we’ve got Nebraska. 💜

It's okay to do less when you're dealing with more. 💚 Just showing up can be enough.

And if things start feeling too heavy, support is available. The 988 Lifeline is here 24/7 - call, text, or chat 988 anytime to connect with someone who cares.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude. 🙏

So far, you’ve helped us raise $5,400 through Give to Lincoln Day and every single dollar stays in Nebraska, working to save lives. 💜

This isn’t just a number. It’s training for people who will sit with someone in crisis. It’s awareness reaching communities that need it. It’s hope, spread one conversation at a time.

To everyone who gave, shared, or cheered us on, thank you. Nebraska is stronger because of you.

There is hope in the data, and hope in the work being done every day to save lives. 💚

New data from the CDC’s WISQARS reporting system, highlighted in a recent article from the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention, shows that national su***de rates have remained stable overall, while rates have decreased across many racial and ethnic groups that have historically been underserved in mental health care and su***de prevention efforts.

This matters.

It is a powerful reminder that culturally relevant research, outreach, education, and prevention efforts are making a difference. When communities are seen, heard, and supported in ways that reflect their unique experiences and needs, lives can be saved.

There is still so much work to do. Too many individuals, families, and communities continue to be impacted by su***de. But this data shows we are moving in the right direction and that continued investment, expanded prevention efforts, and increased funding truly matter.

Here in Nebraska, the Nebraska State Su***de Prevention Coalition is working to support su***de prevention, education, advocacy, and postvention efforts across our state in every community. As part of the Give to Lincoln campaign, we are asking for your support to help us continue this important work and expand our impact.

According to the new data from CDC WISQARS™, after increasing for two decades, the su***de rate has remained relatively stable since 2019, with only small fluctuations.

Tomorrow is Give to Lincoln Day.

One day. One link. One way to invest in a Nebraska where fewer families go through what too many already have.

We’d love to see you there.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month… a reminder that our mental health deserves care, attention, and compassion every single day. ☀️

No matter what’s happening around us, small choices toward hope, connection, and self-care matter. Some days are harder than others, and it’s okay if “choosing the day” simply means taking a breath, asking for help, or making it through one moment at a time.

You do not have to do it alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available 24/7 by calling or texting 988. The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline connects you with trained counselors who care. 💚

Today we pause to honor those we lost. 🇺🇸

We remember those who gave their lives in battle… and those who were impacted by their loss. Their names matter. Their memory matters. Their families deserve our compassion. ❤️🤍💙

If you or someone you love is struggling with grief or crisis, please reach out.
