October 10 is World Mental Health Day. This year’s focus is on suicide prevention. Close to 800,000 people die each year due to suicide, and many more who attempt it. Let’s continue to raise awareness and play a part in helping prevent it.
If you or someone you know is hurting, reach out and talk. We hope these resources will help those who need it. All resources are free, confidential, and available to you 24/7.
