HERE for YOU: REAL People, LOCAL Support in Times of Distress In-Person
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
We all go through tough times. Knowing how to support someone (or ask for help yourself) can make a life-changing difference. Please join us for an evening of hope and connection and learn about readily available local resources to support you or someone you care about in times of distress.
- The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a free national resource that you can call, text or chat 24/7 for confidential emotional support if you're thinking about suicide, worried about a friend or loved one, or are experiencing emotional distress. Tonight, a local 988 crisis counselor will share how this resource has supported the Westchester community in the three years since its inception and what to expect when you call, text or chat 988.
- Get practical tips on how to communicate with people in your life who may be experiencing distress or suicidal ideation.
- Learn about training opportunities to help you recognize signs of distress in others and cultivate skills to have a supportive conversation.
- Ask questions, meet and connect with real folks from a variety of Westchester support resources.
Real people, real support, right here in Westchester! Adults and teens are welcome.
This event is brought to the community by the Westchester County Suicide Prevention Coalition of which Greenburgh Public Library is a member and the Rotary Club of Hartsdale/Greenburgh. Light refreshments will be provided.
