Geode Health

In 2023, more than 27,300 people in the U.S. died by su***de involving a gun. Each one was someone's child, partner, parent, or friend, and each one mattered.

Su***de is preventable, and there are simple things we can all do to help. Storing fi****ms locked, unloaded, and separate from am******on creates time and distance during a crisis, and that time can save a life. You can also ask a trusted friend or family member to hold onto fi****ms temporarily.

Reaching out for support is one of the strongest things you can do. If you or someone you love is struggling, call or text 988 any time, day or night.

Every September, we set aside time to talk about something that deserves more than a passing mention: su***de prevention. Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, that conversation matters most.

It's about more than raising awareness. It's about action, connection, and reminding each other that no one has to carry hard things alone.

You don't need the perfect words to help someone. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply ask, "How are you, really?" and then listen. Check in on the people in your life, even the ones who seem okay.

And if you are the one who's struggling, please hear this: reaching out is not a burden to anyone. It is an invitation for someone to show up for you, the same way you'd show up for them.

If you or someone you know needs support right now, help is available 24/7 by calling or texting 988.

You matter. Your story matters.

988 is the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, a free and confidential resource you can call or text anytime, day or night. It connects you with a trained counselor who will listen and help you through whatever you're facing, whether that's a moment of crisis or just a really hard day.

Asking for help is not weakness. It is one of the strongest things a person can do. If you are struggling, if a friend or family member is struggling, or if you are simply not sure what to say to someone who might be, 988 is there for exactly that.

Recovery is possible. Support is real. And you are never alone in this.

Labor Day started as a day to honor workers, but this year, let it also be a day to honor the work you're doing on yourself.

Showing up to therapy, sticking with your care plan, having hard conversations with your provider: that's labor too. And like any hard work, it needs recovery time.

Nature already knows this. A butterfly doesn't emerge from its chrysalis and fly off right away. It rests first, wings open, letting itself catch up to all that change. Even the most transformative work comes with a pause built in.

If you have the day off, let yourself actually take it off. Not just from your job, but from the pressure to be productive every waking hour. Sit outside. Watch the light move. Let your mind be as still as that butterfly on the leaf.

Rest helps your mind process, reset, and keep making progress, even when it doesn't look like progress.

However you spend today, we hope it includes a real pause.

Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and it doesn't always look like tears. Sometimes it's fatigue. Sometimes it's irritability, or a heaviness that shows up out of nowhere on an ordinary Tuesday.

On this National Grief Awareness Day, let us say it plainly: however grief is showing up for you, it's valid, and you don't have to carry it alone.

Therapy isn't just for crisis moments. It's a place to process loss at your own pace, with a provider who won't rush you toward "moving on." Healing isn't linear, and your care team is here for every step, including the hard ones.

You're allowed to grieve in your own way, and you're allowed to ask for support while you do. If you've been thinking about reaching out, consider this your gentle nudge.
