Suicide Prevention Awareness

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

Every September, we're reminded of the struggles people are facing and how mental health issues can lead them to dark places. That's why we want Marshalltown to be aware of the issues, and for those struggling to be aware that there's help available. After all, we can all help prevent suicide.

Are You Struggling? Or Someone You Know?

It's important to spot the signs, find the words to start a conversation and reach out. Help is available!

Know the Signs

Increased alcohol or drug use
Thinking about wanting to die or suicide
Uncontrolled anger
No sense of purpose
Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness
Changes in eating, sleeping or social interactions
Isolation
Uncontrolled anger, frustration or irritability

Find the Words

"Are you thinking about hurting yourself?" It’s a difficult question to say to a loved one. But when it comes to suicide prevention, there’s nothing more important. Learn how to get the conversation started at suicideispreventable.org.
