September is Su***de Prevention Month

At Next Level Counseling and Wellness, we join NAMI in recognizing this month as a time to raise awareness, share hope, and inspire action around one of the most urgent mental health challenges of our time.

Our commitment is to help individuals, families, and communities access the resources, tools, and support they need to talk openly about su***de prevention, recognize the warning signs, and seek help without stigma.

This month, we invite you to: Start the Conversation. Be the Difference.

Sometimes, simply asking someone how they’re really doing — and listening with compassion — can save a life. No one should have to face this struggle alone. Help is available. Healing is possible. And it often begins with one courageous conversation.
