Every September, Suicide Prevention Awareness Month reminds us of the importance of breaking the silence around suicide, fostering open conversations, and ensuring that no one faces their struggles alone. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, affecting individuals, families, and entire communities. Behind every statistic is a person, a story, and a life that matters.
