💜🎗️️ September is Suicide Prevention Month 🎗️️💜 

This month, we come together to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind individuals and families that support is available. Suicide Prevention Month is an opportunity to encourage open conversations about mental health, recognize the warning signs that someone may be struggling, and help connect people with resources when they need them most. 

Connected Families NH is committed to helping children, caregivers, and families feel supported and connected. By listening without judgment, checking in with those we care about, and knowing where to turn for help, each of us can play a role in creating stronger, more supportive communities.
