Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.
In 2024, there were 925 reported deaths by su***de in the state of Wisconsin, with the majority being men in rural communities. This is our backyard.
A common Myth is people are concerned that talking about su***de will increase that number. Studies have shown that talking about su***de actually DECREASES the amount of deaths by su***de. We at Brain Energy are here to break that stigma!
988 is a FREE confidential 24/7/365 resource that is available to anyone who has questions about how to assist in a mental health emergency, not just for the individual in the crisis.
We believe that all individuals deserve a space to share burdens. We also believe that you deserve to stay earthside.
Your Mental Health IS important, so let's talk about it.
