September is National Suicide Prevention Month
This month: Start a Conversation. Be the Difference.
With one conversation, asking someone how they’re really doing — and being ready to truly listen — can save lives. Because here’s what we know: No one has to face this alone. Help exists. Healing is possible. And all it can take is for one person to start a conversation.
NAMI Resources and Awareness has some tools for crisis responses. Please visit their website for important information.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988.
SafeUT app
The Davis Connect Hope Squad wants to remind you that we can all help prevent suicide. September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time when communities can come together and share their stories and resources to help spread awareness about suicide in the hope of preventing another individual from taking their life.
The SafeUT app provides a way to connect to licensed counselors that are ready to listen to any sized crisis or concern. Support is immediate and confidential, and as easy as reaching for your phone and sending that first message.
Safe UT is a free app that can be downloaded to your phone, or you may visit their website https://safeut.org/
Please join us for the 18th Annual Suicide Awareness Walk held on Saturday, September 20th. More information is to come and participation is free. For more information and to register: https://nuhopeutah.org/walk
