September is Su***de Prevention Month.
For NW Resiliency Project, this month is deeply personal.
We were born from loss. From names, faces, families, teammates, classmates, friends, and a community forever changed by lives that ended too soon.
We honor those we have lost not only by remembering them, but by changing what comes next.
We believe su***de prevention happens long before a moment of crisis. It happens when people feel seen. When they know they belong. When we create communities where it is safe to struggle, where asking for help is a sign of strength, and where we are willing to notice when someone isn’t okay and stay beside them.
This month, we remember those who should still be here.
We hold close the families and friends who carry their absence every day.
And we recommit ourselves to the work of building connection, creating hope, and reminding every person in our community that their story is not finished.
Sometimes we just need someone beside us to help us find the first one.
