“I learned…that sometimes there is just very little in life we can control. But one thing we can always control is how we treat ourselves. And that one thing can change everything.” - Leanna Tankersley

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: "What is one thing I'm carrying right now that I haven't said out loud? What would it feel like to set it down, even for a few minutes?"

Let whatever comes up come up — there's no right answer here. Sometimes what we're carrying isn't even the "big" thing; it's a small accumulated weight we haven't named yet.

Self-Care Activity: A 10-minute "nothing" window

Set a timer for 10 minutes and do absolutely nothing productive. No scrolling, no planning, no cleaning. Just sit somewhere comfortable — by a window, outside, wherever — and let your mind wander. If it helps, keep a cup of tea or something warm nearby to hold.

This isn't about relaxing "correctly." It's just permission to exist without a task attached for a short stretch of time.
