National Su***de Prevention Month: First Action, Raising Awareness
September is National Su***de Prevention Month—a time to focus on being united in raising awareness, encouraging conversations, and reminding those who may be struggling that they are not alone.
At United Relief Foundation, we believe awareness is the first meaningful action in su***de prevention.
Raising awareness begins with the simple act of sharing information—helping others recognize the signs that someone may be struggling and creating a culture where people feel comfortable talking about emotional challenges and asking for help.
Too often, people experiencing a crisis suffer in silence. They may worry about being judged, misunderstood, or perceived as weak.
For veterans and active‑duty servicemembers, the expectation to remain strong and resilient can make it especially difficult to acknowledge when they are struggling or to reach out for support.
