As National Suicide Prevention Month continues, we are glad to have the opportunity to direct interested readers to free online resources from three of the country’s most active advocacy groups for mental health. Recently we provided information from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Today, we encourage individuals, families, educators, medical professionals, and others to check the links below and use or pass on any relevant information to others who could benefit.
