Wayne County Cares

09/03/2026

Today, on the first day of ***dePreventionAndAwarenessMonth, following National Grief Awareness Day on August 30th, we take a moment to pause. We acknowledge all those who are grieving the loss of someone to death by su***de.

This month is about more than prevention. It's about holding space, for those grieving, for the guilt that so often comes with this kind of loss, and for the reality that death by su***de is still something too many people feel they can't talk about openly. This month is about changing that. Talking about it, without euphemism or shame, is part of how we support each other.

You don't have to carry this alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 by call or text.
