Suicide Prevention Month
Suicide Prevention
Connection Is Powerful. It Can Mean A Stronger Reason To Stay.
We All Need to Know Someone Cares #
Feeling connected to a friend, family member, community, or even a stranger who takes the time to listen, can be far more powerful than we imagine. Research shows that social connection and a sense of belonging can help protect against suicide. This Suicide Prevention Month, we’re counting on you to help us create more moments where people around us feel seen, supported, and less alone.
Connection can change a moment, and sometimes, a life.
This need is urgent, and we need your help to support those in crisis and prevent suicide. Reaching out can make a huge difference: nearly half of texters experiencing suicidal thoughts reported feeling less suicidal after their conversation with our volunteers and, 65% of texters surveyed said they reached out to Crisis Text Line because they had no one else to talk to.
