September Mental Health News & Wellness Spotlight
September is a month centered on hope, connection, recovery, and reminding people that they do not have to struggle alone.
This month, Renewed Perspectives recognizes Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and National Recovery Month. Both are important reminders that asking for help is a sign of strength, support can make a difference, and healing does not have to look the same for everyone.
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month: You Don't Have to Carry It Alone
Sometimes people are struggling in ways that aren't obvious to everyone around them. They may still go to work, take care of their families, laugh, show up for others, and continue with everyday life while dealing with difficult thoughts and emotions privately.
Suicide Prevention Awareness Month is an opportunity to have honest conversations about mental health, check in on the people around us, and remind people that support is available.
You don't have to wait until things become a crisis to reach out for help. Therapy can provide a space to talk openly about what you're experiencing, identify what has been weighing on you, and begin working toward feeling more supported and in control.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis or having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
National Recovery Month: Recovery Can Look Different for Everyone
Recovery isn't always a straight line, and there isn't one path that works for everybody.
National Recovery Month recognizes people working toward recovery from mental health and substance use challenges, while also recognizing the families, professionals, and communities supporting them along the way.
Recovery can mean rebuilding relationships, learning healthier ways to cope, returning to work or school, creating stability, reconnecting with family, asking for help, or simply making the decision to try again.
At Renewed Perspectives, we believe people are more than what they have been through. Your past, diagnosis, mistakes, circumstances, or difficult seasons do not have to determine what comes next.
September 10: World Suicide Prevention Day
Sometimes one conversation can make a difference.
World Suicide Prevention Day is recognized on September 10 and serves as another reminder to check in, listen without judgment, take concerns seriously, and help connect people with support when they need it.
You don't need to have the perfect words. Sometimes starting with, "I've noticed you haven't seemed like yourself lately. Are you okay?" can open the door to a conversation someone has been afraid to start.
If someone tells you they are thinking about suicide, take them seriously and help them connect with immediate support.
Call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is an immediate life-threatening emergency, call 911.
