September is Su***de Prevention Month

Foster children are three to four times more likely to commit su***de than youth in the general population.

Youth who have experienced maltreatment, abuse, neglect, and system instability are many variations of why a child in foster care may comtemplate su***de.

In our line of work, we help these children develop a Plan of Support to assist whenever they are having suicidal ideations and/or have a plan in mind. Foster parents are encouraged to help the youth identify triggers that may assist the youth with this plan of support and find ways to help the youth deescalate.

Join us in recognizing Su***de Prevention Month by wearing purple and teal ribbons/clothing.

Purple 💜represents the courage, remembrance, and support for those we lost to su***de or those who have been affected by it.

Teal 🩵represents healing, general mental health awareness, and the importance of support.

Call (502) 267-0102 to learn how you can become a foster parent and change the lives of these young children who have experienced suicidal ideations or have attempted su***de as well as many others in our care!
