Hope Always WY

This is such a great truth!

As long as we continue to remember…we will not forget!

Today is world su***de prevention day. Each day in our nation, there are an average of over 3,703 attempts by young people grades 9-12.

If your teen is struggling with dark thoughts, here are 5 encouragements you can share to remind them they are not alone:
1. You’re not alone—I’m here. Connection and love are powerful lifelines.
2. Tell me how you’re feeling when you’re ready. Talking about su***de doesn’t create the idea—it opens the door to healing.
3. You matter to me and to others. Remind them of their worth and belonging.
4. We’re in this together—let’s find support. Counseling and mentors can help carry the weight.
5. Let’s make a plan for safety. Ask honest questions and walk through next steps together.
Parents—your steady presence, listening ear, and compassionate words can make all the difference. Don’t underestimate the power of being there and present with your children.

If you or your teen are in immediate danger, call 911. For the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, dial 988 for free and confidential help.
