September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

As a community, we lift one another up — in our teachings, our gatherings, our songs, and our everyday acts of being good relatives. This month, we honor the strength that comes from standing together and remind our youth, families, and community members: You matter. We need you here.

What cultural practice, teaching, or community moment has helped you feel supported or connected?
Share in the comments, your words may uplift someone who needs it today.

What some people say about our Parent Warmline: “This is wonderful, and now I feel less alone.”

Our Parent Warmline is a free resource for parents and caregivers seeking a safe, supportive space to talk through challenges, concerns, or everyday parenting experiences. When you call, text, or chat, you'll connect with someone who understands because they've been there too.

So if you feel you’re holding too much right now, call 1-833-732-2467 to connect with someone who understands. You are not alone, and you do not have to carry everything by yourself. Do not wait to reach out. Sometimes one supportive conversation can make all the difference.
