💙 Wellness is su***de prevention. Connection is su***de prevention. Community is su***de prevention.
A huge thank you to Sandi Griffin and her incredible team at The Health & Fitness Expo for welcoming Su***de Prevention Partnership into this amazing event!
Increasing our knowledge about our overall wellness and increasing access to health supports and services are important parts of su***de prevention. And the fitness and wellness industry is uniquely positioned to play a HUGE role in this work by creating spaces where people build confidence, find connection, and invest in their well-being.
We are so grateful for the funds this event raises to support SPP, but even more grateful for the connections made throughout the experience—the conversations, relationships, and reminders that su***de prevention truly belongs in every corner of our community.
Sandi and team, thank you for believing in this work and helping us UNITE our community around su***de prevention. 💙
Health. Connection. Community. Hope.
That is su***de prevention.

Last night, as my family was leaving softball at Cottonwood Park, I came across this yard sign—and it stopped me in my tracks. 💙

At Su***de Prevention Partnership, **UNITE** is one of the words that means the most to us. Our mission is to unite our community in su***de prevention, and this sign was such a beautiful, tangible reminder of what that looks like.

We’re grateful to partner with the City of Colorado Springs Office of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services to promote **Weekends of Hope**—walks and runs happening across our community every weekend from now through the first weekend of October, all in support of su***de prevention.

Learn more about The Weekends of Hope here: https://www.elpasocountyhealth.org/weekends-of-hope/

And one of those events is **our very own Race Against Su***de on September 20!** 💙

Whether you participate in one Weekends of Hope event or all of them, I love the idea of our community coming together to walk for someone we’ve lost, run for someone we love, and show up for hope.

And the girl standing beside me? My daughter, Kohana. 💕 If you’ve ever heard me speak, you know she is a HUGE part of my **WHY**.

I want my kids—and every kid in our community—to know that when life gets hard, **there is somewhere to turn, someone who will listen, and a community that will show up.**

Standing there with her, seeing this tangible sign of our community working together, brought so much joy to my heart.

**This is what it looks like when we UNITE.
This is what hope looks like.
And this is why I keep showing up.** 💙

💛 **September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.**

Throughout the month, Su***de Prevention Partnership will be sharing **Su***de Prevention Awareness Facts**—because su***de prevention is more than knowing the warning signs. It’s about understanding the many ways we can build connection, resilience, hope, and protective factors in our community.

From **our children to our older adults**, from mental health and help-seeking to connection and belonging, su***de prevention is something we can all be part of.

This month, we’ll share facts that **inform, challenge, and inspire action**—and remind us that prevention happens every day.

Because small actions can make a big difference.

**Follow along. Learn something new. Share what resonates. And find your role in su***de prevention.**

💛 **Together, we can create a community where everyone knows they matter, they belong, and help is available.**
