"Not every day is going to be okay." That's actually printed right on the su***de awareness and prevention chips we're handing out at the union hall.
For National Su***de Prevention Month, stop by the Local 145 office and pick up a DIAL 988 poker chip. Scan the QR code on the back, and it'll take you to a page of mental health resources you can use anytime, not just in September:
⚡988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline⚡
Free, confidential, 24/7 support and resources for you or someone you know experiencing distress or crisis.
Call 988 OR text "Home" to 741741
⚡Veteran Crisis Line⚡

⚡Mental Health America's Peer-to-Peer Line⚡

Call 330.434.9144
Grab a chip. Put it in your pocket or your toolbox, somewhere you'll actually see it. Sometimes that's the nudge it takes to make the call — for you or someone you love. Remember, you're never alone.
