Grief is a heavy burden that everyone carries at some point in their life. It may stem from losing a family member, experiencing baby loss, losing a beloved pet, or even enduring a major life change, like moving away from home or losing a job.

In today’s fast-paced world, where news spreads instantly, public tragedies can feel overwhelming. Whether it is a devastating natural disaster, a tragic shooting, a school shooting or another catastrophic event, the emotional impact can be profound.

The aim of National Suicide Awareness Month is to educate the public on the warning signs of suicide, promote mental health resources, and inspire open discussions about mental health.
