September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. Let’s change how we talk about mental health. What we say to ourselves and others about mental health matters.

Learn the warning signs, normalize help-seeking, and let people know they are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling call or text 988 for support, available 24/7.

🚫 No Hazing. No Bullying.🚫

Back-to-school shouldn’t mean pressure to “fit in.” Hazing or bullying, no matter how small, can have lasting harm. Every student deserves to feel safe, respected, and included.

Encourage your child to speak up or report it if they see someone being hurt or left out. And if you're a teacher, coach, or school staff member stay alert to what’s happening both in and outside of the classroom. Creating a culture of kindness and accountability starts with all of us.

Last week, we had the opportunity to attend the National Sexual Assault Conference in Washington, D.C.!

We spent the few days learning from incredible professionals, attending meaningful sessions, sharing ideas, and connecting with so many passionate, like-minded people from across the country. We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring new knowledge and inspiration back to VOICE and the survivors we serve.

And of course, we had a pretty great time along the way! 🏛️✨

We’re thankful for the knowledge, connections, conversations, and memories we’re bringing home with us!

The start of the school year can bring excitement but also pressure. Life is stressful for everyone, and today’s youth are navigating more than ever with academic expectations, social pressures, and challenges both online and offline. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed.

Make time to check in on your mental health and check in on the kids and teens in your life too. Encourage open conversations and remind them it’s always okay to talk, whether it’s with a friend, parent, teacher, coach, or any trusted adult. Talking about stress is a strong move, not a weak one. 💚
