National Suicide Prevention Week is September 6 -12. Our theme for this year is the very simple but important message: Keep Going.

In the era of Covid-19, as we all try to protect our mental health and cope with uncertainty, it’s more important than ever that we be there for each other and take steps to prevent suicide. You don’t have to be a mental health professional to make a difference. There are simple things we can all do to safeguard our mental health, and you don’t have to do it alone.

From learning the warning signs for suicide and what to do if you are worried someone is struggling, to advocating for smart suicide prevention legislation, to having a #RealConvo about mental health, to bringing education programs to your community, we can all learn new ways to help each other save lives. Together, we #KeepGoing.
