Suicide Prevention and Recovery Month
In the month of September, we focus on Suicide Prevention - so we can decrease the stigma related to the topic of suicide and increase awareness about suicide prevention. The month of September also recognizes National Recovery Month - to increase awareness and understanding of mental and substance use disorders and celebrate recovery. Starting conversations that encourage help-seeking can build resiliency in our communities.

The theme for this September is "Hope, Resilience, and Recovery." We have a lot of activities that everyone can do safely, and virtually, to spread the message about suicide prevention, emotional resiliency, recovery and hope.

Please see the attached calendar from the Riverside County University Health System - Behavior Health to get started.
