The Lethal Means Awareness Committee in collaboration with the Education and Advocacy Committee of the Connecticut Suicide Advisory Board (CTSAB) has developed a library of short videos with individual messages of suicide prevention. This collection “It’s ok to talk about…suicide” is now being made available to you.

A goal of this project is to reduce stigma by showing people willing to talk about suicide. The videos were recorded at the May 2024 Inspiring Hope: Coming Together for Suicide Prevention conference. Each video uses the state’s 1 WORD, 1 VOICE, 1 LIFE brand, opens with the statement, “It’s ok to talk about…suicide,” includes a message from a CT resident, the CTSAB website, and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. We are very grateful to everyone who had the courage to participate and share their messages with us.

The Veterans Crisis Line is always here to help.

If you’re struggling, don’t keep it to yourself: reach out.

Today’s youth are struggling with suicide at younger ages.

Your voice is valued & deserves to be here.
