National Suicide Prevention Month | |
|
September is National
Suicide Prevention Month
All month, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members unite to promote suicide prevention awareness.
| |
|
National Suicide Prevention Week is the Monday through Sunday surrounding World Suicide Prevention Day. It’s a time to share resources and stories, as well as promote suicide prevention awareness.
World Suicide Prevention Day is September 10. It’s a time to remember those affected by suicide, to raise awareness, and to focus efforts on directing treatment to those who need it most.

988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
| |
988 is more than just an easy-to-remember number—it’s a direct connection to compassionate, accessible care and support for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress – whether that is thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress.
People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.
| |
|
|
Currently, 988 does not have geolocation services, which means that if a person reaches out to the Lifeline by phone, chat, or text, their exact location cannot be tracked or automatically shared with law enforcement.
- Most calls to the Lifeline result in de-escalation and the dissemination of resources and follow-up services without requiring an in-person response.
- The Lifeline’s counselors do not need a caller’s location to connect them with relevant mental health resources, unless the caller specifically wants information on local programs and supports.
- Callers also do not need to disclose any personal information to receive assistance from Lifeline counselors.
