** Hello Friend,
------------------------------------------------------------

September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month — a moment to shine the spotlight on LGBTQ youth suicide, and recommit to providing 24/7 mental health care and resources to young people. Together, we can build a welcoming, loving community for LGBTQ young people and help prevent crises by learning the warning signs of suicide ([link removed]) and identifying suicide risk factors ([link removed]) .

Suicide prevention often starts with ourselves. Check out our Self-Care Guide today ([link removed]) to learn simple ways to practice self-care at home, at school, and in public:
