September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. If you’ve lost someone to suicide, know someone who has, or, you’ve struggled yourself with suicidal thoughts, we want to remind you that you’re not alone. Suicide is universal. It crosses socioeconomic and cultural lines. It’s uncomfortable to discuss and difficult to predict.
