National Suicide Prevention Week is the Sunday through Saturday surrounding World Suicide Prevention Day, which is September 10th. Signs of suicide risk include, increased substance (alcohol or drug) use; anxiety, agitation, unable to sleep or sleeping all of the time; feeling trapped; and hopelessness. Spreading awareness can help save a life.
Mental health issues are important to talk about and promote to remove the stigma. Give people the option to find help by connecting with therapists and other medical professionals. Put together an infographic about suicide, anxiety and depression and spread the word that help is available.
