From Officer Damilano:
September is National Suicide Prevention Month.
The warning signs to look for include changes in behavior, especially those that are entirely new and related to a sudden loss or change, increased use of alcohol or drugs, isolating from family and friends and visiting or calling people to say goodbye.
It’s important for those struggling with thoughts of suicide to feel a sense of connection to family, friends and their community.
This connection can be strengthened by making a deliberate effort to check in with friends and family or meeting new people, also encouraging them to attend events!
We have many fun events happening at BHRA and in Vermilion County. Please reach out to your friends.
The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, along with prevention and crisis resources.
