Why Suicide Prevention Matters

Behind every statistic is a person, a story, a family, and a future. Many people who struggle with suicidal thoughts often feel isolated, overwhelmed, or believe that things will never get better. But suicide is not inevitable—help and healing are always possible.

At Sunrise, we believe that mental health matters and are committed to creating a culture that supports emotional well-being. Suicide is a leading cause of death, but it is also preventable. By opening conversations, reducing stigma, and showing compassion, each of us has the power to make a difference.  This Suicide Prevention Month, we invite you to join us in breaking the silence, spreading hope, and standing together for healing. Every life has value, and every life is worth fighting for.

Even small actions can bring hope:

• Listening without judgment

• Checking in on a friend, colleague, or loved one

• Sharing resources and encouraging others to reach out for help

These gestures remind people they are not alone and that support is always within reach.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember: you are not alone.
