🧠 FACT FRIDAY: Myths vs. Facts About Su***de 🧠

Let’s challenge the misconceptions and make space for honest, compassionate conversations about su***de. 💚

Talking about su***de does not put the idea in someone’s head. In fact, open and caring conversations can help reduce risk and let someone know they aren’t alone. People who experience suicidal thoughts or make an attempt can recover and go on to live fulfilling lives with the right support and care.

Most importantly, every conversation matters. Every person matters. Every life matters. 💚

If you’re worried about someone, don’t be afraid to ask, listen, and connect them with support.
📞 Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

SAP Matters!
Shared by PA Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, Human Services and Education

Back to school means new classes, new routines, and new opportunities—but some students return carrying challenges that aren’t always easy to see.

Pennsylvania’s Student Assistance Program helps schools identify mental health and substance use concerns and connect students and families with support—an important part of prevention.

Working alongside educators and school staff, trained liaisons from county drug and alcohol offices help make these connections possible.

In 2024–25, more than 17,000 screenings were conducted for substance use and/or mental health concerns—a 14% increase from the previous year. More than 72,000 parent discussions and meetings took place for students referred to the program—an increase of nearly 7%.

As students settle into the new school year, Student Assistance Program teams are there to recognize what students may be carrying and help connect them with the support they need.

During Overdose Awareness Week, we're sharing a new resource to help people stay informed and prepared as Pennsylvania's drug supply continues to change.

Julia Hilbert of Prevention Point Pittsburgh helped develop our free, online Naloxone and Opioid Overdose Response training, bringing experience from her work supporting community-based naloxone and drug testing strip distribution across Pennsylvania.

The training provides current, evidence-informed information on emerging substances, recognizing an opioid overdose, using naloxone, and responding with compassion.
