September is Su***de Prevention Month. It’s a time to raise our voices for hope, awareness, and connection.

For first responders, the reality is sobering: they are more likely to die by su***de than in the line of duty. Behind the uniform are men and women carrying invisible weight; the calls they can’t forget, the trauma they’ve absorbed, and the pressure to be “strong” no matter what.

This month, and every month, let’s break the silence. Let’s check in on each other, listen without judgment, and remind each other that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

At Survive First, we believe that no one should face their struggles alone. Together, as a community, we can bring light into the darkest moments and stand firm in the fight against su***de.

If you or someone you love is struggling, reach out. There are so many of us who are ready to listen.

Could magnesium be a game-changer for mental health?

Emerging research suggests this essential mineral may play a powerful role in treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)—especially in cases resistant to traditional therapies.

In clinical observations, high-bioavailability forms of magnesium (like glycinate or threonate) led to significant improvements in mood, anxiety, sleep, and negative thinking—in under a week. That’s far faster than conventional antidepressants, which often take weeks to kick in.

Why does it work? Magnesium regulates NMDA receptors in the brain, preventing the harmful overstimulation of neurons by excess calcium—a process called excitotoxicity, which has been linked to depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. In short, magnesium acts like a neuroprotective shield against chemical stress.

Here’s the catch: modern diets, processed foods, and filtered water have left many people unknowingly magnesium-deficient. This silent shortfall could leave the brain chronically vulnerable to mood disorders and neurological wear.

If further research confirms these effects, magnesium may become one of the safest, most affordable tools for protecting brain health—like a nutritional buffer against modern life’s mental toll.

About 6 years ago we placed hundreds of these signs in yards and businesses throughout the county. We do still have some left and I’m thinking about putting them back out when it’s cooler and not so rainy. I’m just posting to see how many people would be interested in having one in their yard or in front of their business. We come to you. If it’s something you’d be interested in just like this post please so I can get an idea of how many we’d need. Thank you!
