Raising Awareness during Suicide Prevention Month

During Suicide Prevention Month this September, broadcasters are working to raise awareness of mental health issues and provide resources to help people in need. They provide contact information for crisis hotlines, air public service announcements and run features and in-depth reporting.

With local newsrooms and Americans’ most-trusted reporting, broadcasters are powerfully positioned to share this lifesaving information with communities across the country.

Read more about the work broadcasters are doing this month at America’s Stories.

NAB works with the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention to share resources for promoting the 988 crisis line with broadcasters. This is part of our commitment to share best practices for broadcast leaders promoting the mental and emotional well-being of their communities and their newsrooms.
