Join us in September in recognition of

SUICIDE PREVENTION MONTH

As we look to September’s Suicide Prevention Month (#SPM23) and Suicide Prevention Week (Sept. 10-16), the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance)—the nation’s public-private partnership working to advance the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention—hopes to once again unite the field to amplify messages about the significant role we all play in being there for others. This is the second in a series of e-blasts aimed at equipping our partners with the necessary resources and tools to plan for and participate in this important national conversation.
