Thank you for helping to raise awareness during National Suicide Prevention Week. We are inspired by the outpouring of messages of help and hope shared across California and around the world last week. From community events to social media, Californians mobilized to be part of the solution and we want to keep up the momentum.
Suicide is preventable and we can all get involved by knowing the signs and learning how to step up and step in.

Do you believe that each mind matters?
Ending the stigma associated with mental illness is a personal choice. We have to decide for ourselves that each mind really does matter. Join the Movement and Make a Pledge to help end stigma. |
