The month of September is dedicated to raising awareness about su***de, and elevating resources that can help support people thinking about su***de.
Many survivors need support around their mental health and may have thoughts of su***de.
It is common for survivors to feel trapped with a partner, and sometimes even to think that dying by su***de is the only way they can escape. It is also very common for people who are abusive to intentionally undermine their partners’ mental health, something advocates often call “mental health coercion.”
Work to support survivors who are navigating thoughts of su***de is best done in community–we are thankful for a robust network of mental health care providers, social workers, medical providers, and community organizations in the Midcoast.
Survivors: regardless of where you are at with your mental health, we want to support you.
We can help you form a safety plan and connect you to area resources as you create pathways to a safer, happier future. Call us 24/7 at 1-800-522-3304 or visit NewHopeMidcoast.org.
