♥️ Supporting Survivors of Suicide ♥️
Remember, you are not alone. Nine out of ten suicide attempt survivors do not ultimately die by suicide and go on to lead happy, healthy lives. This week our focus is on providing crucial resources and support for survivors of suicide.
In our latest newsletter, you'll find a downloadable list of next steps individuals can take in the immediate aftermath of a suicide attempt, and a video from suicide attempt survivors, designed to bust some of the most common myths about suicide. Plus, you can learn more about supporting individuals who may be considering suicide and/or who have survived a suicide attempt in the past by registering for Talk Saves Lives - a special suicide prevention training, facilitated by Victoria Eckert and Carri Raynor, happening on September 26th, 2023.

A friendly reminder to join us for Back to School Sessions, Workshop 5 - Collaborating Within and Across our School Systems happening TOMORROW, September 20, 3 - 4:30 p.m. PT.
Leora Wolf-Prusan and Rachele Espiritu will bring partners together to unpack our constructs of collaboration that requires us to be in in shared language (Are we partners? Collaborators? Other?). And by being in a shared language, we can navigate different expectations of how to be in relationships.
This workshop explores the Collaboration Continuum (Mashek, 2015) and how we can operationalize the continuum in our school mental health systems work. Together we will discuss how the continuum is dynamic, changing based on needs, capacities, and a program deliverable’s outcome, and the value of articulating collaboration is clearer communication of needs, expectations, and stronger relationships to move the work forward.

September is National Recovery Month!
Each September NTTAC recognizes National Recovery Month and those who make up the community of people in recovery, as well as those supporting others in their recovery journey. Recovery is a path filled with courage, determination, and hope. It's about rebuilding lives, reconnecting with loved ones, and rediscovering joy. For many #youth and #youngadults in #recovery, September marks #RecoveryMonth and the transition #backtoschool. It can be an exciting and overwhelming time. Helping young people stay connected with supportive and trusted friends, family, and mentors is a crucial form of support you can offer. Learn more about how you can help from our partners at SAMHSA: bit.ly/samhsa-help-young-people
