The Power of Connection

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a time to bring awareness, reduce stigma, and provide support to those struggling with suicidal thoughts. Amidst the many strategies and resources available, one of the most powerful tools we have is connection.


Connection is a fundamental human need. It’s the thread that binds us to others, providing a sense of belonging, love, and understanding. For someone grappling with suicidal thoughts, feeling connected to others can be a lifeline. We’ve provided some local opportunities for connection and community below:
