West Modesto Community Collaborative

September is Su***de Awareness Month—a time to break the silence, offer support, and remind one another that no one has to face their struggles alone. Reach out, listen, and spread hope.

Talking about su***de prevention reduces stigma, promotes early intervention, and ensures those in crisis feel supported and encouraged to seek help.

Please visit the resources below if you or someone you know wants to learn more.
