It is a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote early detection, safety, and mental well-being. We honor survivors and remember those affected, reaffirming that help and healing are possible when we listen, reach out, and support one another.   If you or someone you care about needs support or resources, please contact a mental health professional.
