September is National Suicide Prevention Month – a time to remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge the millions more who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families and communities that have been impacted by suicide. It’s also a time to raise awareness about suicide prevention and share messages of hope. Simply calling or texting 988 or chatting 988lifeline.org will connect a person in crisis to compassionate care and support for any mental health or substance use-related distress. Anyone—a person in crisis, or someone supporting a person in crisis—can reach 988 in the United States through any land line, cell phone, and voice-over internet device. 988 is Someone to talk to. Someone to respond. A safe place for help. #SuicidePreventionMonth #988Day #SuicidePrevention #BeThere #SAMHSA

Our community's children are at-risk and without intervention and diversion services, many will end up in the juvenile justice system or worse. YFA's Community Counseling makes a difference and so can you! Community Counseling (CC) is a juvenile justice program that serves at-risk youth and their families, creating a pathway for life success. We are looking for more great people to join our team and change lives as a Community Counseling Case Manager. YFA offers great compensation and benefits. CC is primarily field work in the community and schools, meeting children and families where they are at. Go to www.yfaing.org/careers to apply. #preventionworks #juvenilejustice #floridanetwork
