At Family First, each program is intentionally designed to create a safe, comfortable, and intimate environment. 🏡✨

Every program serves its own small group of boys, and the populations don’t cross over—allowing clients to form close connections and build trust within their group. It’s in these smaller, intentional settings that healing and growth truly take root. 💙

This week—and the entire month—are dedicated to su***de prevention, raising awareness, and breaking the silence around a topic that impacts so many.

Su***de prevention is about supporting one another, learning the warning signs, and creating safe spaces where people feel seen and heard. 💙 When communities come together with compassion and understanding, hope can take root.

We invite you to read one of our blogs on teenage su***de prevention, where we share insights, warning signs to look out for, and how families and communities can step in with support.

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of su***de, please know you are not alone and help is available. Call or text 988 (the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline) to be connected to free, confidential support; available 24/7.
