Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
Every September, communities across the nation come together to raise awareness for Suicide Prevention Month. It’s a time to remind one another that mental health matters, that help is available, and that hope is real.
At The Up Center, we are dedicated to walking alongside children, teens, adults, and families through their hardest moments. By offering counseling, crisis support, and community programs, we help people find the strength to move forward.
Why Suicide Prevention Month Matters
- Suicide is preventable. With the right support, healing and recovery are possible.
- Many people struggle in silence. Stigma and fear often prevent individuals from reaching out.
- Together, we can make a difference. Starting conversations, checking in on loved ones, and sharing resources saves lives.

What You Can Do During Suicide Prevention Month
- Start the conversation. Asking “Are you okay?” can open the door for someone to share.
-
Know the warning signs. Changes in mood, isolation, or hopelessness should not be ignored.
-
Share resources. Encourage loved ones to seek help through counseling, hotlines, or community services.
-
Take care of yourself. Supporting others starts with caring for your own mental well-being.
