Disability Help Center - San Diego - August 2019

THESE RESOURCES CAN HELP THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST SPREADING AWARENESS AND REDUCING THE STIGMA

Stop Soldier Suicide This resource is the first national, veteran-founded-and-led 501(c)3 nonprofit focused on military suicide prevention. With more than 45,000 veteran service organizations recognized by the IRS, getting help can be difficult, confusing, and time-consuming. In efforts to change that, Stop Soldier Suicide works one-on-one with troops, veterans, and military family members to help navigate the maze of services, programs, and assistance available. WEBSITE: STOPSOLDIERSUICIDE.ORG/ Contact: Info@stopsoldiersuicide.org There’s nothing more important to us this upcoming month and every month than to help our clients get the help they need. If you have questions, want advice, or just need someone to talk to, don’t put off getting in touch with our advocates here at the Disability Help Center. We are here for you.

Coming up next month, Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, an event near and dear to our hearts will be held here at the Disability Help Center. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), more than 41,000 individuals die by suicide each year. Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone regardless of background, gender, or age, and they often stem from an untreated mental health condition. We use this month to reach out to those affected by suicide, raise awareness, ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention, and connect individuals with suicidal ideation to treatment services. That’s why we partner with several important resources in an effort to shed light on this highly taboo and stigmatized topic. Help Therapist This resource offers mental health and counseling services in a home, facility, or office setting to individuals who would otherwise be unable to obtain treatment.
