Health and Social Awareness Highlight
AUGUST: LET'S START THE CONVERSATION BEFORE SEPTEMBER 💛
As we approach National Suicide Prevention Month in September, Donaldson Edge Advocacy is encouraging organizations, communities, workplaces, and families to begin the conversation now.
Suicide prevention is not just about responding to a crisis. It is also about connection, awareness, education, advocacy, and access to resources.
At Donaldson Edge Advocacy, our work supports healthier communities through:
Education
Helping communities understand the importance of mental and emotional well-being.
📣 Health Advocacy & Community Engagement
Creating opportunities for people to understand their health, use their voice, advocate for themselves, and connect with available resources.
Prevention begins with connection
Check on your people.
Listen without judgment.
Create safe spaces for conversation.
Know your community resources.
And don't be afraid to ask someone, “Are you okay?”
If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide or a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
We don't just raise awareness. We build capacity, connect resources, and strengthen communities.
