September is Suicide Prevention Month and Adair County Health Services is working to bring attention to an important resource.
Adair County Senior Life Solutions Program Director Dianne Allsup says that the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a great source for people that are struggling with suicidal thoughts. Allsup recommends the free lifeline to get help right away from a professional.
“They’re definitely, they’re going to ask you some tough questions, but they’re going to help you stay safe. They will stay on the line with you until, you know, until help arrives or until they can get you in a place where you’re able just to, you know, reach out to that next person and they’ll definitely stay connected.”
