DFW Federal Family,

Today, September 10th, is World Su***de Prevention Day. It's a time to remember those affected by su***de, to raise awareness, and to focus efforts on directing treatment to those who need it most.

On average, more than 100 people in the U.S. die by su***de every day -- it's the second leading cause of death for teens and young adults, and the 10th leading cause of death overall. Su***de affects families from every walk of life. We can all play a role in offering help and support to those around us.

If you think someone you know may be suicidal:
• Learn the risk factors and warning signs from Su***de Prevention Lifeline
• Find a wide variety of resources and information from SAHMSA
• Get advice on how to help an at-risk person from the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention
• Find research, advice, and search for a psychologist near you at the American Psychological Association
And take a minute today to reach out to a friend or family member just to let them know you care, especially those who might be remembering a lost loved one or feeling alone and isolated.

Su***de affects families from every walk of life. We can all play a role in offering help and support to those around us.

The National Su***de Prevention Lifeline recently completed the launch of 9-8-8, a nationwide 3-digit dialing code for those who are suicidal or experiencing a mental health crisis. 9-8-8 connects callers to a nationwide network of trained counselors.

The launch of 9-8-8 also includes the Veterans Crisis Line.

Now a national holiday, Black Texans began celebrating Juneteenth annually after the Civil War was over and Major General Gordon Granger visited Galveston in 1865 and announced that “all slaves are free.” The state of Texas established Emancipation Day in Texas as a legal state holiday in 1980.
