National Suicide Prevention Month was established in September 2008, bringing together mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies and communities nationwide to build awareness and offer support. National Suicide Prevention Week begins Monday, Sept. 4, and ends Sunday, Sept. 10, on World Suicide Prevention Day.
#BeThe1To is the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline message for the month and beyond, working to educate about the actions we can take to prevent suicide and change the conversation from suicide to suicide prevention.
The Lifeline Network’s campaign encourages everyone to #BeThe1To Ask, Be There, Help Keep Them Safe, Help Them Connect and Follow up.
