Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. We can all play a positive role in preventing suicide. Saying the word “suicide” will not make someone consider it. But it could make them feel comfortable enough to talk about it. If you or someone you know needs to talk to someone right now, text, call, or chat 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for a free confidential conversation with a trained counselor 24/7. You belong here 💙 #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth #ItsOkToSaySuicide #JEDCares
