KMMS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. The goal of this month is to shift public perception away from stigma, spread hope to those touched by a suicide, and to share vital information with communities affected by suicide. This month is dedicated to ensuring that individuals, friends, and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help if necessary.
