In a significant move to raise awareness about mental health, Lawrence County Executive David Morgan, alongside Lawrenceburg Mayor Blake Lay, has officially declared September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in Lawrence County. This proclamation underscores the importance of addressing the critical issue of suicide and fostering a supportive environment for those in need.
The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network plays a vital role in this initiative, working diligently throughout the state to combat the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Their efforts focus on educating communities about the warning signs of suicidal behavior and implementing strategies to reduce the incidence of suicide.
For individuals who may be experiencing distress or know someone who is, it is crucial to reach out for help. The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7, and those in need can call or text 988 to connect with trained professionals. Remember, you are not alone in this fight, and support is readily accessible.
