Coconino County Health and Human Services — September is Suicide Prevention Month
September is Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness and spread hope and vital information to people affected by suicide. Suicide and suicide attempts affect the health and well-being of friends, loved ones, co-workers, and the community. Suicide is preventable and everyone has a role to play to save lives and create healthy and strong individuals, families, and communities. Suicide prevention requires a comprehensive public health approach. The CDC developed the Suicide Prevention Resource for Action (Prevention Resource), which provides information on the best available evidence for suicide prevention.
Remember, 988 has been designated as the three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
