September is suicide prevention month. This month is used
to bring awareness and resources to this urgent crisis.
Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone, regardless of age,
gender, or background. Thoughts of suicide should not be
considered normal, and often indicate a more serious issue..

to talk about deeper feelings and thoughts
