It's Okay to Ask for Help. September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, sharing resources, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and su***de.

NAMI recognizes Su***de Prevention Month as a time to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time. Our goal is to ensure that individuals, friends, and families have access to the tools, resources, and support they need to talk openly about su***de prevention, recognize warning signs, and seek help.

You are not alone.

Reaching out for support can be the start of a new journey forward. Whether you are experiencing thoughts of su***de or supporting a loved one, there is help available. Take time today to explore help options, learn about contributing risks to su***de, download resources, and more.

John Jeff Hutter of Gutsy Grief is hosting a two-day pop-up art gallery in downtown Austin, built entirely from work and objects that loss moved people to make. Features 30 artists, selected through an open community. The work spans painting, poetry, photography, artifacts, experiential art, and installation.

Each piece is displayed alongside the artist’s own written account of the loss that inspired it, which is the defining feature that separates this from a conventional gallery show. The stories are the exhibit as much as the objects are.

Visit this interactive experience on Friday, August 21, 6:30 to 9:00 PM, and Saturday, August 22, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (open gallery). Located at411 Brazos Street, Suite 107

Tickets are free with optional donation to the Christi Center. Learn more and RSVP at themuseum.johnjeffhutter.com

It’s officially summer here in the city! It is a time to enjoy yourself and your family. There are many things to enjoy in the summer: baseball, swimming, sleeping in, and live music! But if you’ve experienced the death of a loved one, everything you love about summer may be different.

You may be looking at all your normal activities through a different lens, or you may not feel motivated to do anything. Or you may have the inclination to fill up your and your family's schedules so there's little downtime to think. Sometimes grief is more intense in the summer – it’s hard to be sad when everyone else is having fun and being carefree.

Here are some tips that may help someone who is impacted by grief in the summer:

1. Try activities you used to enjoy and see if they are a good fit. If they’re not, that’s OK! If they are, continue to enjoy them!

2. Try an activity in a new way that honors or remembers the person who died. For example, if you lost your uncle who loved camping, plan a camping trip in his honor.

3. Go outside, take a walk, ride a bike, go for a swim. Sunshine helps us produce Vitamin D to help our bodies with its chemical balance.

4. Find others who share your experience. Find a Bereavement Summer Camp, or churches that may offer grief support groups.

5. Remember: it’s OK to have fun and enjoy life after death. Talking to your children and family about summer break can help children address emotions they may not know how to express.
