September is Suicide Awareness Month - Signs for Hope Campaign
September is National Suicide Prevention Month – a time to remember the lives lost to suicide, acknowledge the millions more who have experienced suicidal thoughts, and the many individuals, families and communities that have been impacted by suicide. It’s also a time to raise awareness about suicide prevention and share messages of hope.
During September, and throughout the year, we can connect to within our community and collaborate with others to address this public health problem that has impacted so many in Josephine County across the lifespan.
Signs for Hope
Every September we place yard signs around Josephine Co with messages of hope and information about our 24/7 Crisis line (541-474-5360) and 988. If you would like your business to participate or individually, reach out to request one or more yard signs or go directly to the Don’t Give Up website to order your own.
