Today is suicide prevention day! Talking about #suicide or even talking about people who have thoughts of suicide can be an uncomfortable conversation topic. But talking about it can save lives. Suicide often gets its power from silence. Recognizing warning signs may open the door for you to support someone who may not reach out for help on their own. Learning about risk factors and then talking about them can go a long way toward saving a life. #helptexts #suicide #suicideprevention #themoreyouknow #risks #signs

Today we honor National Pet Memorial Day. For some of us, our pets are a source of unconditional love. They teach us about patience, selflessness, routine, and companionship. Because we gain so much from our relationships with them, it's natural to grieve them deeply.
