September is Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month.
The first annual 988 Day is on Sunday, September 8th.
The Cobb Collaborative will join communities across the country in a day of action focused on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) first annual 988 Day on September 8, 2024. This year marks the kickoff of a new, annual tradition that raises awareness of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and mental health support, with each year focusing on a different theme. This year's theme is "No Judgment, Just Help."
We want to ensure everyone that they are not alone—anyone can text, chat, or call 988 anytime, 24/7, to connect with a skilled and caring counselor.
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is a national resource providing free and confidential emotional support 24/7 to individuals in suicidal crisis or emotional distress.
Dialing 988 connects you directly with a trained counselor who can offer immediate assistance.
