September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. To commemorate, Bellaire High School Sources of Strength is hosting their fourth annual Steps Against Suicide Awareness walk. Students and community members will gather in the park at 1:30 p.m. on September 25th and walk together to raise awareness and reduce stigma surrounding mental health. If you or someone you know is struggling or in distress, dial 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline or visit 988lifeline.org. Remember, you are loved and you are not alone.
