September may mark the end of Su***de Awareness Month, but the need for connection, support, and hope continues year-round.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone, and help is available. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and you don’t have to wait for a crisis to ask for support.

Our Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is available to assist individuals experiencing a mental health or emotional crisis and help connect them with appropriate resources and services.

Take a moment to check on your family, friends, coworkers, and those around you. Sometimes a simple “How are you doing?” can open the door to a conversation that someone desperately needs.

Su***de prevention is more than a month. It’s a year-round commitment. You matter. Help is available.

Postpartum mamas!

☕️🤎 Latch & Lattes is coming to Palace Coffee!

We’ve been wanting to create a space where expecting and early postpartum moms can come together, connect, learn a little, and—most importantly—feel supported.

Latch & Lattes is a relaxed one-hour morning gathering centered around pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, and those early weeks with a new baby.

This is not a formal class or an individual lactation consultation. Think of it as a little bit of feeding education, plenty of real conversation, and a chance to meet other women in the same season of life. 🤎

I’ll be sharing a few practical feeding tidbits and answering general questions along the way—but if you have a specific feeding concern that needs assessment, we’ll make sure you know how to get the individualized support you and baby need.

Whether you’re pregnant and wanting to feel more prepared before baby arrives, or you’re in the early months postpartum, we’d love to have you.

For this gathering, we’re welcoming expecting moms and moms with babies 0–6 months. Babies are welcome to join you. To keep the morning cozy and focused on connection between moms, we kindly ask that older children and additional guests sit this one out. 🤎

☕️ Latch & Lattes
📍 Palace Coffee — Georgia St.
📅 October 24
⏰ 10:00–11:00 AM

Space is limited, so please RSVP through the link in my bio.

Come grab a latte, meet some other moms, and find your people. 🫶

Because feeding a baby was never meant to feel like something you have to figure out alone.

September is National Su***de PreventionAwareness Month 💜🩵💜🩵

Su***de Prevention Starts With Paying Attention. 💜🩵

Sometimes the people who are struggling the most don’t look like they are struggling at all.
They may still go to work.
They may still laugh and make plans.
They may still take care of everyone around them.
They may even tell you, “I’m fine.”
That’s why it’s important to notice the changes—withdrawal, hopelessness, giving things away, saying goodbye, increased substance use, talking about being a burden, or simply seeming like they aren’t themselves.
And don’t be afraid to ask:
“Are you thinking about su***de?”
Asking directly does not put the idea in someone’s head. It can create an opportunity for someone to finally say what they have been carrying alone.
You don’t have to have the perfect words.
You don’t have to fix everything.
You just need to be willing to stay, listen, and help connect them to support.
If you are worried about someone, take it seriously. Stay with them when possible, help reduce access to lethal means, and connect them with professional or crisis support.
And if you are the person struggling:
Your pain matters.
You matter.
You do not have to figure everything out today.
988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988
If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
💜🩵
Sometimes saving a life begins with simply being willing to ask.💜🩵💜🩵💜
