September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and this collection, You Matter, was created with love as someone I know and love tried to end her life earlier this year. Please, if you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, reach out to someone or call 1-800-273-TALK. As a labor of love You Matter was created, so it can be a reminder to my loved one that her story isn't finished. You Matter includes 20 papers and over 100 elements all which coordinates with Neverland Scraps You Matter Collection. Hopefully through You Matter, you may realize that you aren't alone or be able to scrap through those emotions that you or a loved one may be facing or once faced.
Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. In fact, suicide is often the result of an untreated mental health condition. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues.
Each year, more than 41,000 individuals die by suicide, leaving behind their friends and family members to navigate the tragedy of loss. In many cases, friends and families affected by a suicide loss (often called “suicide loss survivors”) are left in the dark. Too often the feelings of shame and stigma prevent them from talking openly.
September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month—a time to share resources and stories in an effort to shed light on this highly taboo and stigmatized topic. We use this month to reach out to those affected by suicide, raise awareness and connect individuals with suicidal ideation to treatment services. It is also important to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention.
Where To Get Help
Don’t be afraid to reach out if you or someone you know needs help. Learning all you can about mental health is an important first step.
Reach out to your health insurance, primary care doctor or state/country mental health authority for more resources.
Contact the NAMI Help Line to find out what services and supports are available in your community.
If you or someone you know needs helps now, you should immediately call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 (TALK) or call 911.
