💜 September is Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month🩵
Throughout September, the Town of Lincoln joins communities across Maine and the country in raising awareness about su***de prevention, encouraging conversations about mental health, and reminding everyone that help is available.
This month, the Gazebo will be lit in teal and purple in recognition of Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month and in memory of those we have lost.
One message we want to share this month is simple:
Check on your team.
Check on your friends.
Check on your coworkers.
Check on your family.
Check on the person who seems like they have everything together.
Sometimes a simple text, phone call, conversation, or “How are you really doing?” can mean more than we realize.
If you or someone you know is struggling, resources are available:
📞 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
Call or text 988 anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Support is free and confidential.

📞 Maine 211

Mental health struggles are not always visible. Someone can be smiling, working, laughing, helping others, and still be going through something incredibly difficult.
So this September, make the call. Send the text. Have the conversation.
Check on your team. Check on each other.
💜Lincoln is a community, and communities look out for one another. 🩵
