Free Toolkit and Training Resources Available for Physicians for Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

August 7, 2025

The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has released a comprehensive Suicide Prevention Awareness Toolkit, designed to help individuals and organizations engage in meaningful conversations, spread awareness, and take action. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. 

The theme of this year’s campaign is “Creating Hope Through Action.” Weekly messages highlight simple, but powerful ways to make a difference: 

• Week 1: Learn the warning signs – Hope begins with awareness 

• Week 2: Reach out – Help is within reach 

• Week 3: Connect to protect – Relationships save lives 

• Week 4: Advocate for change – Your voice matters
