A heartfelt thank you to the incredible members of our Task Force who worked tirelessly to bring our Shatter the Silence Su***de Prevention Symposium to life 💜

From the planning and preparation to the countless details behind the scenes, your time, dedication, passion and commitment to su***de prevention made this conversation possible.

Because of your hard work, we were able to create a space for meaningful connection, education, hope and—most importantly—reminding our communities that every life matters and no one has to face their struggles alone.

We are deeply grateful for each of you and the heart you poured into this important work. Your efforts truly helped us Shatter the Silence and move one step closer to a world where talking about su***de is met with compassion and support.

Thank you for believing in this mission and doing the work that saves lives.

Thank you for joining us today as we recognized 988 Day and shared some of the many reasons someone might reach out for support. 💜

One of the most important messages we hope you take with you is this: 988 is for everyone.

It’s for young people and parents. Grandparents and caregivers. Farmers and first responders. Teachers, chefs, healthcare workers, neighbors and friends. It’s for anyone having a hard day, facing a difficult season or simply needing someone to talk to.

Whatever your reason, it’s a reason.

As we continue through Su***de Prevention Month and Recovery Month, please keep the conversation going. Share these resources. Talk about 988. Help make sure the people in your community know where they can turn when they need support.

💜 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org — available 24/7
📞 DMH Helpline: 877-210-8513

Awareness matters. Connection matters. And sometimes, simply knowing where to turn can make all the difference.

Today is 988 Day — a day to raise awareness of the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline and remind Mississippians that help is available 24/7.

We’re grateful to Governor Tate Reeves for signing a proclamation recognizing September as Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, and recognizing September 8th as 988 Day. Right here in Mississippi, we're continuing forward in our commitment to prevention, intervention and recovery.

This month, the Mississippi Department of Mental Health is working to shatter the silence, reduce stigma and change the narrative around su***de — because every conversation matters, and reaching out for help can be a first step toward hope and healing.

📱 Call or text 988 anytime to connect with a trained crisis counselor.

Caring for a parent can come with love, worry, stress, and moments when it all feels like too much. That's a reason to reach out.

On 988 Day, we're reminding everyone that you don't have to be in a certain kind of crisis to need support.

Whatever your reason, it's a reason. Call, text or chat 988 any time, 24/7.
