💜 September is Su***de Prevention Month

At Mud Tavern Volunteer Fire & Rescue, keeping our community safe means looking out for one another in every kind of emergency, including the ones we may not be able to see.

Su***de Prevention Month is an important reminder that we shouldn't be afraid to have difficult conversations. Talking about su***de isn't harmful, silence is. A simple, honest conversation can be a turning point for someone who is struggling.

This month, we encourage you to check on your friends and family and really check on them.

Ask the friend who's been a little quieter lately.
Call the family member you haven't heard from.
Sit down with the coworker who doesn't seem like themselves.
And when you ask, "Are you okay?" take the time to listen to the answer.

You don't have to have all the right words or know how to fix everything. Sometimes being willing to listen and helping someone connect with support is an important first step.

If you or someone you know is struggling or experiencing a crisis, call or text 988 to connect with the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Trained crisis counselors are available 24/7.

💜 Start the conversation. Check on your people. Be there for one another.
