Come As You Are Turnabout

01/01/2026

This year is about choosing yourself, checking in with your mental health, and embracing the power of community. Fresh starts don’t have to be loud — sometimes they’re gentle, intentional, and deeply meaningful.

We’re grateful to step into this new year with you. Let’s keep building a future rooted in care, kindness, and support.

Open arms. Open heart. Always. 💙

💚 September 10 is World Su***de Prevention Day (WSPD) 💚
Today, we join millions around the globe in raising awareness, showing compassion, and taking action to help prevent su***de. WSPD is an annual event sponsored by the International Association for Su***de Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organization (WHO), uniting people worldwide in the commitment to save lives.

Su***de is preventable, and together we can break the silence, reduce the stigma, and ensure that no one ever feels alone in their struggles.

📞 If you are in crisis or thinking about su***de, call or text 988 — the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 across the U.S.

💬 You can also chat online at www.988lifeline.org
📞 In Broward County, dial 211 for local support and resources.

🌐 Learn more and find support through us at www.lanterafl.org
Let’s honor this day by spreading hope, compassion, and connection. Together, we can create a world where fewer lives are lost to su***de. 💚
