September is National Su***de Prevention Month - a month to highlight the importance of connecting with people and the resources available to support those experiencing emotional distress and suicidality.

Healing is possible. And all it can take is for one person to start a conversation.
Below is a list of resources we offer.
• Walk-in Support: Behavioral Health counselors are available for walk-in services, Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm. They’re located in the HHS building, 6228 Old School Rd
