💜🩵 September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month 🩵💜

This month is an important reminder that every life matters, every story matters, and no one should have to struggle alone.

Su***de prevention starts with connection. Check in on the people around you, listen without judgment, and remind them that it’s okay to ask for help. Sometimes a simple “How are you, really?” can open the door to an important conversation.

Throughout September, we encourage our community to help break the stigma surrounding mental health and su***de by creating space for compassion, understanding, hope, and healing.

💜 You matter. You are valued. You are not alone.

🩵 Help is available, and reaching out is a sign of strength.

Today, we remember those we’ve lost to overdose, support those who are grieving, and stand with people affected by substance use.

💜 Journée internationale de sensibilisation aux surdoses

Aujourd’hui, nous rendons hommage aux personnes que nous avons perdues à la suite d’une surdose, nous soutenons celles et ceux qui sont en deuil et nous sommes solidaires des personnes touchées par la consommation de substances.

Ensemble, nous pouvons réduire la stigmatisation, sensibiliser davantage et aider les personnes à accéder au soutien dont elles ont besoin.

💜 Se souvenir. S’informer. Agir.

In 1995, Dolly Parton started mailing books to children in her home county to inspire children to love reading in honor of her dad, who couldn’t read or write.

That idea lives here too. Every month, children in Eel Ground find a book in the mailbox — because of a woman from Sevier County, TN who started it all.

Together, we are making sure that children have new books to learn and grow with each and every month, for free.

FOR EEL GROUND COMMUNITY MEMBERS:
Reach out to Mandi if you have not already signed up, or would like assistance.

Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.❤️
