Suicide Awareness Resources

As some of you may know, May is #MentalHealthAwareness month. I was so saddened to hear about recent teen suicides in our community. While such losses can overwhelm us with confusion and grief, some avenues for further prevention are to continue to educate ourselves, to have the difficult conversations, to make sure that we let others know that they aren't alone and that we are here to provide support. Listed below are links to resources on suicide education and prevention.
