Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

September is National Suicide Prevention Month and Emergence Health Network is encouraging El Paso residents to deepen the conversations about mental health and suicide. Did you know that contrary to popular belief, asking someone directly if they’re thinking about suicide won’t “put the idea in their head?” In fact, people are often relieved to talk about their emotions. If you or a loved one needs help and someone to talk to, reach out. EHN operates a 24-hour crisis helpline. EHN is also here to help those who have lost a loved one or friend to suicide. We know this is an extremely difficult time for you too. Our behavioral health professionals are ready to help. Call 915-779-1800 or dial 988. Together we can be a lifeline.
