SEPTEMBER

In the month of September, Reds Country Cares is focusing on Suicide Prevention. There are a number of organizations with resources to help you or the ones you love.
988 Initiative

Cincinnati area high schooler Jake Hertzman started the 988 Initiative to raise awareness for the new suicide prevention lifeline number that launched in July 2022. People can call or text 988 to talk to a trained counselor for help or if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support. The lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to promoting the new 3-digit number, the 988 initiative creates conversation around mental health and suicide prevention by working with area schools and businesses.

Our community-based programs and best-practice resources are specifically designed to improve mental health across the state.
