National Day of Remembrance
|
Monday, September 11th is our Nation's National Day of Service and Remembrance - where American's pause to reflect on the devastating September 11th terrorist attacks against our great nation. We commemorate those we lost and give thanks to the brave first responders that put their lives on the line to help our people. So, this 9/11, take a moment of silence at 8:46AM (the time the first plane hit the World Trade Center's North Tower).

In the past few years, suicide awareness is becoming common talk. Odds are, your child knows someone from school, through friends, or the news who recently chose to take their own lives. Talk to them about it. Let them know there is help and there is always someone to talk to that loves them.
There are roughly 40,000 suicides a year, meaning someone dies every 14 minutes.
Do you know the signs of someone who might be depressed? Do you have dark thoughts? Maybe you know someone who has spoken of suicide or tried suicide? Talk. There is help, get help today!
