September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about su***de prevention, reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, and encouraging individuals to seek help when needed. This month serves as a reminder that su***de is preventable and that support, connection, and access to mental health resources can make a significant difference in saving lives.
September 6-12, 2026, is National Su***de Prevention Week. This year's theme, "Stronger Together: Connect. Support. Prevent.", highlights the importance of connection, support, and prevention in strengthening mental wellness and raising su***de prevention awareness.
During this week, we encourage Howard High School students, teachers, and staff to increase awareness and show support to participate in the themed days listed below. Together, we can help create a culture of compassion, understanding, and hope within our school community.
Remember: You are not alone. Help is available. If you or someone you know is struggling, talk to a trusted adult, school counselor, mental health professional, or call/text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
