Today is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. Today is about coming together and supporting the survivors that have lost loved ones. For many survivors, the grief and trauma surrounding their loss can be complicated by stigma, shame, and ignorance. May we remember today and everyday that showing our support and love to those that have lost a loved one to suicide is a critical piece of suicide prevention. Today we remember the thousands left behind to mourn the loss of a loved one to suicide and make a commitment to continue working on suicide prevention efforts across the state.

If you or a loved one are experiencing a mental health crisis, reach out to the New Hampshire Rapid Response Access Point, which can provide support. Contact them by phone, text or chat to access vital support services at 833-710-6477. 988 is also available for those experiencing mental health issues.

Join thousands of other people from across the country for the American Cancer Society’s 🚭Great American Smokeout 🚭. We know quitting smoking is not easy, and it’s not a matter of willpower. The nicotine in tobacco is addictive, which makes quitting so hard. The good news is that we know more than ever about what works best to help people quit. A smoke-free life is possible, and there has never been a better time to try quitting than right now.

In New Hampshire, approximately 12.3% of adults smoke cigarettes. Evidence shows that quitting tobacco is a process. It starts with a plan, often takes time and requires a lot of support.
