Suicide Prevention
Spread Hope
September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and as a city dedicated to the well-being of our community, we are proud to support mental health and wellness. This month, we emphasize the importance of emotional health, and as part of our commitment, we offer valuable resources through our Employee Health and Wellness Center. This center provides all employees with tools to enhance their emotional well-being and offers additional support specifically tailored for our first responders. We’re also proud to support the Hope Squad Program, a national initiative that trains students to recognize warning signs of suicide, offer peer support, and seek help from adults.
