SUICIDE PREVENTION WEEK & MONTH

September 8-14 marks National Suicide Prevention Week, an annual campaign to educate the general public about suicide prevention and the warning signs of suicide. Here are some resources and learning opportunities to help you do that now and throughout the year.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month – a moment that serves as a powerful reminder that there are steps we all must take in looking out for loved ones, the people in our community, and those who have been impacted by this leading cause of death.

It’s time to take one big step together.

Since 2002, millions of people have attended the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s OUT OF THE DARKNESS WALKS in communities across the country, raising awareness and funds that go toward education programs, advocacy efforts, and scientific research that reveals how we can save more lives.

By walking with others, we find comfort in knowing we are not alone, and that we are connected through great purpose to healing and support. So join us – as parents, neighbors, family members, classmates and colleagues – and find an Out of the Darkness Walk near you, as we all take a step in the right direction: towards HOPE.

Our highly qualified team of Psychologists, Psychiatrists and LCSWs are available to help patients needing more intensive or customized treatment plans.

To schedule a session with one of our providers, give AHL’s Behavioral Health Team a call today for a convenient appointment near you.

Life can be challenging, but every day shouldn’t feel hard or out of your control.

If it does, one of the quickest
and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition is to take a
mental health screening at mhascreening.org.

Screening can help catch mental health problems early. Get screened at mhascreening.org. 

A screening only takes a few minutes, and after you are finished you will be given information about the next steps you should take based on the results. TAKE A SCREEN HERE
