National Suicide Prevention Week is September 10-17. The more we all work to encourage others to feel comfortable openly discussing mental health and suicide prevention, the more lives we can save.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) has resources available for National Suicide Prevention Week on their website: AFSP is also hosting a Twitter Chat to #StopSuicide on September 13.
You can help to #StopSuicide—and let your community know that you’re a safe person to talk to—by adding a filter to your profile picture. Additionally, you can download images that can be shared on your social media accounts to help spread the word.
Additional resources are available on the AFSP’s website for National Suicide Prevention Week.
