Suicide Prevention Awareness Month Here In Orange County
Here at A Better Way TMS & Psychiatry Clinic, we believe that mental health matters more than anything in the world. That is why we hope to bring your attention to Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, an observance that is supported by the
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and many other organizations.
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and it is a time to bring mental health issues to light and break the stigma that surrounds them. So often mental health conditions go unnoticed, untreated, and lead to detrimental effects.
This September, we encourage you to look into the resources listed on the website for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and spread the word about all there is out there to help people through a mental health crisis. For drug-free mental health care in Orange County, CA, contact our psychiatry and TMS clinic.
