Get ready to attend our September (Suicide Prevention Awareness Month) 2024 General Meeting Mental Health Speaker Series. In Honor of September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Savannah Crippen, MPH, is invited to speak about free virtual health resources for youth. NAMI CC Transitional Age Youth Coordinator Leo Li At NAMI CC will also be present to share the efforts we have in place to support the mental health of our youth.
As we continue into September, we at NAMI Contra Costa continue to raise mental health awareness and suicide prevention. On Tuesday, September 10, NAMI is calling grassroots advocates to support the Local 988 Response Act, a major priority bill to improve the routing of people calling the 988 Lifeline for help during a crisis.
As September unfolds, we at NAMI Contra Costa are proud to be part of a critical initiative for mental health awareness and suicide prevention. On Sunday, September 8, NAMI CC and NAMI join the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in observing the inaugural 988 Day—a national effort to raise awareness about the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
