💛 You might notice a change to our look this month! 💛
Throughout September, our Fire crews will be stepping out in yellow as we swap our standard uniform shirts for the Michigan Yellow Rose Campaign shirts.
September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. The Yellow Rose Campaign serves as a powerful symbol of hope, solidarity, and memory—reminding our community and fellow first responders that mental health matters, you are never alone, and help is always available.
First responders and community members face challenges every day, but some of the hardest battles are the ones fought in silence. Wearing these yellow rose shirts is our way of making a visible commitment to:
-Break the stigma surrounding mental health and asking for help.
-Open up conversations within our department and our community.
-Honor the lives of those lost to su***de and support the loved ones left behind.
If you or someone you know is going through a tough time, please remember that reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Support is free, confidential, and available 24/7:
📱 Call or Text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
📱 Text "HOME" to 741741 to connect with the Crisis Text Line
📱 Call 1-844-334-1181 for the Michigan First Responder Crisis Line
Look out for one another, check on your crew, and let’s keep breaking the silence together.
