Changing the Narrative on Suicide

Every September, the Nevada community gathers together to bring awareness to the important public health issue of suicide. This year, the International Association on Suicide Prevention has declared the theme for the 2024 September Suicide Prevention Month to be "Changing the Narrative on Suicide." In line with this theme, the Nevada Suicide Prevention Month Task Force has come up with key recommendations for citizens, business owners, faith-based groups and anyone else who can help prevent suicide.

Light up the State!

Join us in displaying purple and turquoise lights outside your business, home, or school to change the narrative for our neighbors and communities that with help and hope, suicide can be prevented. If you can’t change physical lights, you can light up your social media profiles with purple and turquoise banners, posts, or profile pictures.
