September marks Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Unfortunately, our region continues to experience an increase in the number of individuals who need support and care. A recent study shows the majority of adults (94%) believe that suicide can be prevented at least some of the time, and 96% of adults in the U.S. would take action if someone close to them were thinking about suicide.
As a behavioral healthcare provider in the Golden Triangle region, our team at Diamond Grove Center is dedicated to #BeThere in a manner that promotes connectedness. Culturally relevant services, evidence-based treatments, and support are available.
It is imperative that we equip our community with hope, resilience, and the tools to feel empowered. People needing help can contact:
- 988, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline that provides 24/7 confidential support. Text, chat, or call today. Trained crisis counselors are ready to serve.
- The Veterans Crisis Line for U.S. Military Veterans, call 988, press 1.
- Trevor Lifeline, the only national 24/7 lifeline for LGBTQ youth, at 1-866-488-7386.
You can help save a life.
