September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.


This month is dedicated to raising awareness about suicide, reducing stigma, and sharing the message that suicide is preventable. It’s a time to encourage open conversations, promote healing, and empower communities with knowledge and resources for prevention.


Valuable resources include the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and here in Connecticut, the Connecticut Suicide Advisory Board.


This toolkit brings together suicide prevention materials such as library books, pamphlets, factsheets, posters, and videos to support education and awareness efforts.
