September is Deaf Awareness Month! It is celebrated annually in September to help raise awareness about the language, culture, and diversity of the Deaf community in the United States.

Celebrate with the deaf and hearing loss community by making yourself aware of resources available in your area.  Visit TNPathfinder.org and search “deaf resources.” Then share the information with your friends, family, and community.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline branded graphic is at the bottom right of the image.

988 Hotline Launched and in full operation throught the US. 

Those seeking support during a mental health or emotional crisis may dial 988 to connect to a nationwide support network. The transition to a simplified three-digit number is meant to increase access to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and will operate similar to 911.

The move was facilitated by almost $300,000,000 in federal funding to both expand telephone infrastructure and increase call center staff. Via the network, trained counselors at more than 180 centers will be available over phone, text, or chat—users may call on behalf of themselves or others. The current 10-digit number has received more than 20 million calls since it was launched in 2005.

Suicide was one of the three leading causes of death in the US for those between 10 and 24 years of age in 2020 and claimed nearly 46,000 lives that year (see data)—almost double the number of homicides.

If you are a person experiencing a mental health or emotional crisis, please dial 988 to get support.
