As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to share the national suicide prevention hotline number, 9-8-8. People can call this number 24/7 if anyone they know, or if they themselves, are at risk for suicide. Since the Covid pandemic, suicide rates have risen, especially among older adults.
