“This is a moment of suffering. Suffering is part of life. May I be kind to myself in this moment.” — Dr. Kristin Neff

Suicide Prevention Month Toolkit 

Here is how you can show your support this September:
💡 Light Up the Night: Swap your porch lightbulbs to purple and blue to signal hope to your community.
🫶 Reach Out: Send a quick text to check in on a friend—it might be exactly what they need to hear.
🫂 Gather Your Circle: Host a conversation at your school, workplace, or home to break the stigma.
💬 Spread the Word: Share our toolkit directly to your Instagram Story.

Journal Prompt: “The Compassion I Can Carry”

Think of a time when you felt seen, supported, or less alone—without describing anything that feels overwhelming.

• What words, actions, or presence helped?
• What signs might tell you that you or someone else needs extra care?
• Write three compassionate sentences you could offer yourself and three you could share with someone struggling.
• Complete: “Asking for help is an act of courage because…”

Self-Care Activity: Create a “Stay Connected” card

On a small card or phone note, write:

1. One grounding activity that helps you feel present.
2. Two people or communities you can contact for support.
3. Three reasons to pause and stay connected today.
4. One crisis-support resource available in your area.

Decorate or personalize the card, then keep it somewhere easy to reach. End the activity with five slow breaths and one small act of care... drinking water, stepping outside, stretching, or messaging someone you trust.

This activity supports reflection and connection, but it isn’t a substitute for professional care. Anyone in immediate danger should contact local emergency services or dial 988 Suicide Crisis Lifeline right away.
