If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988.

Help is available 24/7.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness month and the reality in Lehigh County is urgent.

As of July 2026, our Coroner’s Office reported 29 deaths by su***de more than three times the number of homicides.

Behind every number is a person, a family, and a community experiencing loss.

Su***de is preventable. Connection, compassion, early intervention, and access to support save lives.

Of those 29 deaths, 15 involved a firearm, reminding us that safe storage and creating time and distance from lethal means can be lifesaving.

This month, take action:
• Learn the warning signs
• Take QPR (which stands for Question, Persuade, Refer) or another gatekeeper training
• Check in on someone you care about
• Talk openly about mental health
• Know where to find help
