September is Suicide Prevention Month
If you or someone you know needs help, connect to hope. Individuals are more likely to feel less depressed, less suicidal, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful by after speaking to someone who listens without judgment. Call or text #988, or chat at 988lifeling.org to speak to a trained crisis counselor 24/7-365. You can also access the Ottawa County Community Mental Health line at 866-512-4357 or TTY 711 or the Michigan Peer Warmline at 1-888-PEER-753. Available every day from 10am-2am.
