September is National Suicide Prevention Month, with various events across the U.S. aimed at raising awareness and providing mental health resources. In Northeast Ohio, the 4th annual Jeff Kirkner Memorial Kickball Tournament honored a local firefighter who died by suicide, raising over $12,000 for mental health resources for first responders. Meanwhile, a downtown Cleveland event facilitated discussions on mental health, with a focus on accessibility of resources, particularly for those facing depression and anxiety. Globally, initiatives like the AIIMS sessions in India and a week-long campaign at Banaras Hindu University aimed to destigmatize suicide and promote community support. Additionally, Girls Against Being Bullied Inc. is set to host its second annual Suicide Prevention Weekend in Alabama, featuring mental health training and community resources. The overarching message emphasizes the need for connection to combat loneliness, a significant risk factor for suicide.
