2026 Suicide Prevention Month-Proclamation.pdf

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month — a time to recognize that mental health struggles touch many of us, directly or through people we love, and that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember these resources are available 24/7:

• EAP: 1-800-433-2320
• Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 or Chat: 988lifeline.org/chat
• SAMHSA’s National Helpline: Call 1-800-662-HELP (4357)
• The Trevor Lifeline (for LGBTQ youth): Call 1-866-488-7386, Text ‘START’ to 678-678, or Chat: thetrevorproject.org/get-help

Suicide prevention starts with all of us. Whether you share these resources, check in on someone you care about, or start a conversation, every action matters. Together, we can make a difference.
