Mindful Moment of the Month
September 2024
Our Mindful Moment of the Month is in support of Suicide Prevention Month.
In 2022, over 49,000 people died from suicide, which is equivalent to one death every 11 minutes (CDC Suicide Prevention, 2024). Suicide is a serious public health problem that affects all walks of life. One of the most effective methods of suicide prevention is identifying those who are at risk and connecting them to support. We would like to raise awareness by providing resources, breaking down misconceptions, and increasing conversations about mental health in order to eliminate the stigma around suicide.
If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal ideation or is in crisis, help is available 24/7. Call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org to speak with a trained crisis counselor.
