Strong relationships and trusted connections help protect people when life gets hard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suicide prevention starts long before a crisis. Open conversations, shared resources, and visible awareness make a real difference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowing the warning signs of suicide, in adults and in children and teens, means being able to recognize when someone needs support and connect them to help sooner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communities that talk openly about mental health and suicide help reduce the stigma that keeps people from asking for help.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevention is everyone\u2019s responsibility, not just one organization\u2019s. Families, schools, workplaces, faith communities, health systems, and individuals all have a role to play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Small acts of connection, such as a check-in, a shared resource, a moment of genuine attention, are how communities take care of each other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-dark-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/988lifeline.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">If you need to talk, the 988 Lifeline is here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"58\" data-attachment-id=\"100046\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mainestategrange.org\/?attachment_id=100046\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?fit=1401%2C272&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1401,272\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"988-logo-horizontal-navy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?fit=840%2C163&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?resize=300%2C58&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-100046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?resize=300%2C58&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?resize=767%2C149&amp;ssl=1 767w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?resize=1024%2C199&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?resize=1200%2C233&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/988-logo-horizontal-navy.png?w=1401&amp;ssl=1 1401w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-gray-color has-yellow-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:12px;border-top-right-radius:12px;border-bottom-left-radius:12px;border-bottom-right-radius:12px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NAMI Resources<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-gray-color has-yellow-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/childmind.org\/\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:12px;border-top-right-radius:12px;border-bottom-left-radius:12px;border-bottom-right-radius:12px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CHild Mind Institute<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suicide prevention is not one moment or one person&#8217;s job.
