SERVPRO Proudly Supports National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

8/28/2019 (Permalink)

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. You can help by sharing information and offering resources to those affected by suicide.

Suicide is a tragedy that can affect any individual, whether as a person struggling with suicidal idealization and thoughts or as one of a circle of family, friends, and community members who want to help.

Many resources are available year-round for both victims and their circles, but September is the month we refocus on the supports in our community. Suicide prevention is only effective if the information is made available and shared throughout the Riverside area, and we are reminded each September to do our part to make this happen.

Now is the time for all members of the community to come together to share information and offer resources to those affected by suicide. Connecting potential victims with treatment options and supporting survivors with the personal and practical services needed to begin the healing process are crucial components of a caring and effective response to these painful and traumatic events.

Victims and families deal with a broad array of issues in a suicide. Extending a hand to neighbors, friends, family, business partners, and others is the least our community can do to help. When the community comes together in an effort to conquer this challenging set of circumstances it gives cause for hope to those who are directly affected. We are honored to be part of a multifaceted team extending a hand to our neighbors experiencing this type of loss.
