💜🩵 In recognition of National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, FSU Health Community Engagement invites you to join the next session in our Learning Series for Community Leaders. Danielle Shelton and Stephen Sardelis, LCSW of Better Living Solutions will present “Redefining Mental Health Care: Integrating Medical, Nutritional, & Behavioral Health Interventions for Children, Teens, and Adults”, an interdisciplinary perspective on su***de prevention, intervention, and recovery. 🩵💜

🗓️ September 23, 2026
🕰️ 12PM EST

The team recognizes that there is no single pathway to healing for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts or mental health crises. Drawing from evidence-based practice, clinical experience, and the lived experiences of those we serve, this session will explore the medical, nutritional, and behavioral health factors that influence su***de risk across the lifespan.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the warning signs, risk factors, and protective factors associated with su***de, while learning how an integrated, whole-person approach can support prevention, treatment, and long-term recovery. By fostering awareness, connection, and collaboration, this presentation aims to strengthen our community's capacity to promote hope, resilience, and healing for children, adolescents, and adults facing mental health challenges.

Somewhere in our community tonight, someone will pick up a phone because they don't know what else to do. On the other end, a trained counselor will answer — calmly, without judgment, at whatever hour it is. That is the whole promise of 988, and it only holds because people like you stand behind it.

That promise is under real pressure. Call volume is rising steadily — more than 200 additional calls every month. It's a hopeful sign that more neighbors are reaching out instead of suffering alone, but it also means more shifts to cover, more counselors to train, and more hours to fund. We cannot meet that growth without you.

Please join us for the Luncheon for Lifeline on 988 Day — Tuesday, September 8, 2026 at 11:30 AM, at Governors Club. Over lunch you'll hear directly from people whose lives turned on a single call, and we'll celebrate the counselors who answer 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

An individual seat is $125. A table of eight is $1,200 and includes recognition at the event — a good way to bring your team, your family, or your congregation into the room with you. Every seat helps keep a counselor on shift as the calls keep coming.

Seating is limited, so please reserve early. The attached invitation has all the details, and you can register here:

Every day, trained counselors pick up the phone for neighbors in their hardest hour. On 988 Day, the Luncheon for Lifeline gathers the community that makes that possible.

Expressing emotions healthily means allowing yourself to feel without judgment, communicating your needs clearly, and processing those feelings through constructive outlets 🫶🌸
