🌍 Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. Let’s come together to raise awareness, offer support, and break the stigma surrounding mental health. Every action counts—whether it’s starting a conversation, offering a kind gesture, or simply being there for someone. 🧡

Transforming the narrative on su***de means moving from silence to openness, empathy, and support. With over 700,000 lives lost to su***de globally each year, it’s crucial to foster understanding and compassion.

At Santa Cruz Community Health, we provide confidential behavioral health support in English and Spanish for those facing life’s challenges. Your mental and emotional well-being are just as vital as your physical health. For more information, visit schealthcenters.org or call us at (831) 427-3500.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out. Call or text the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline at 988 (U.S.) or contact a local helpline. You are not alone. 🙏
