June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month. Here at the Franklin County Coroner's Office, we honor the lives lost to gun violence, support survivors, and stand with communities working towards a safer future.

Join us in raising awareness, promoting prevention, and advocating for change by wearing orange this Friday, June 5th. Together, we can help build safer communities for everyone.

June is National Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. Too often, men face pressure to remain silent about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other mental health challenges. This month, we encourage open conversations, greater understanding, and the reminder that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Whether you're checking in on a friend, reaching out for help, or simply taking time to care for your own mental health, every step matters.

Let's work together to break the stigma, foster connection, and create a culture where every man feels supported, heard, and valued.

Your mental health matters. Your voice matters. You matter.
