September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month—a crucial time to remind ourselves and others that no one has to face their struggles alone. It's important to check in on friends and loved ones, offer a listening ear, and share resources that can truly make a difference. Together, we can break the stigma around mental health and encourage seeking help when needed. Remember, reaching out for support is a sign of strength. Your life matters, and you are never alone.

If you need support, the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is available by calling 988, and Veterans can reach the Veterans Crisis Line by pressing 1 or texting 838255. For more information, visit: https://www.nationalguard.mil/Resources/Su***de-Prevention/

And now for some of the fun moments! 😎 These photos were taken by different Soldiers at Annual Training “embracing the suck”. Embracing the suck means that while the current situation may be less than ideal, you try to make it the best you can. Having fun (at appropriate times) and staying positive sure makes the time go by faster.
