Suicide Prevention is more than just knowing how to ask or intervene; it's also about how we talk about it. Avoiding judgmental language and sensationalism in media coverage is crucial. Let's open the door for those in need, and promote hope and resilience. Making small changes in our language can have a big impact. Let's create a safer community through safe messaging.
