Wrapping up September and Heading into October
|
As we close out September, I wanted to remind you that Suicide Prevention is not just limited to September but is important year-round. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call, or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 988 immediately.
Montgomery County also has a Mobile Crisis program available 24/7 at 1-855-634-4673 that can provide immediate support for crisis situations and assistance in managing recurring or future crises. This is available to children, teens, adults, and families.
If you are not in crisis but need mental health support, there are additional resources available to you through the county and state. Please call my office and one of my staff members will be able to direct you to helpful resources.
Heading into October, we will honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and LGBTQ+ History Month, along with Banned Books Week, Fire Prevention Week, World Teachers Day, and LGBTQ Spirit Day. These acknowledgements are important to recognize throughout our area and across Pennsylvania as they affect so many individuals and communities.

Please continue to stay safe, healthy and well-informed.
And, if you have questions about any state-related issue, please contact my office at 484-200-8263 or email [email protected].
Sincerely,
Rep. Joe Webster
State Representative
150th Legislative District
