September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. It’s a time to come together, raise awareness, and support those who may be struggling. Remember, you are not alone—there is help available. At Community Legal Aid, we are committed to fostering hope and ensuring that everyone has access to the resources and support they need. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Let’s work together to break the silence and save lives.

At Community Legal Aid, we are committed to advocating for fair treatment and equal rights for all, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Whether you’re resting, celebrating, or working today, we stand with you in the fight for justice and dignity in the workplace.
