September is Suicide Prevention Month. With the 20th anniversary of 9/11 coming on Sat, keep in touch with those you know struggle with the terrorist attack and what it has done to their life or the lives of loved ones. Suicide has taken too many in the aftermath of 9/11/01.

[Mental Health Awareness - Anderson County @aware_anderson]

Breaking down the stigmas associated with getting help for mental illness is going to be a major step in dealing with rising suicide rates. Getting support before the situation becomes a crisis is critical. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness.

This is one of the troubling statistics of suicide. In spite of larger numbers of men who die by suicide, they don't offer clear signals of their intentions. We all share in the responsibility of reducing suicide. Pay attention.

[Psychology Today @PsychToday]

Men are four times more likely to die by suicide than women, but rarely offer clear signals of their intentions. Digging deeper into what drives them should lead to better prevention. https://t.co/TUpzhVxvmJ

One of the top strategies students can employ to reduce fear and stress is to identify a trusted adult at school that they can talk with. It can be a teacher, coach, counselor, administrator, aide, etc. Everyone needs someone to talk to and trust to get help when needed.

[Mental Health Awareness - Anderson County @aware_anderson]

Feeling safe while at school is important for students. After meeting their basic needs like food, water and sleep, feeling safe & secure is necessary before they can focus on learning, relationships & other opportunities for personal growth. #facingfears
