A phone call. A text. Sitting down and listening. Reminding someone that they matter. Small moments of connection can make a difference for someone who may be struggling.
This year’s theme, “Stronger Together: Connect. Support. Prevent.”, reminds us that suicide prevention is a responsibility we all share. We can help by looking out for one another, recognizing when someone may be struggling, listening without judgment and helping connect them with support.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.
Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Trained crisis counselors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to listen, provide support and help connect you with resources.
If there is an immediate threat to life or safety, call 911.
At the Miami County Sheriff’s Office, we encourage everyone to remember that asking for help is a sign of strength. Check on your family. Check on your friends. Check on your coworkers. Sometimes simply letting someone know “I’m here, and I’m listening” can be more powerful than we realize.
Connect. Support. Prevent. Together, we can help save lives.
