Anthony Bourdain’s life was a beautiful tapestry woven from the threads of culinary adventure, storytelling, and a deep appreciation for the human experience. His passing left a profound void, reminding us that even those who seem to have it all can struggle in silence. September is National Su***de Prevention Month. In honor of Bourdain’s legacy, let’s break the stigma surrounding mental health. Join our Youth Mental Health First Aid and/or QPR Su***de Prevention training and learn how to support adults and youth in crisis.

In a world where everyone carries their own struggles, we often don't know what someone else is facing. Many of us admired the laughter and warmth of Robin Williams, a reminder that even humor can mask personal struggles. As we honor those we've lost, let's also stand together in raising awareness for mental health. September is National Su***de Prevention Month and we invite you to join us in fostering a compassionate and supportive community. Together, we can ***depreventionmonth

Today is national Overdose Awareness Day. How many of your friends on FB are no longer here, whether intentional or unintentional? We have at least 5. Learn about these concepts so you know what to do.

Today is Overdose Awareness Day. 💜

Overdose prevention is something we can all be part of. Knowing the signs of an overdose, carrying naloxone (Narcan), and knowing how to use it can help save a life. Naloxone is safe, effective, and can reverse an opioid overdose.

Most importantly, help is available, and recovery is possible. If you or someone you love is struggling, you don’t have to face it alone.
