June 2026 East Central SPRC Newsletter

Suicide Prevention Coordination
Suicide Prevention Regional Coordinators partner with individuals, organizations, and communities to support caring, community- led efforts that promote connection, hope, and prevention.

Mental Health for Every Identity

June recognizes both Men’s Mental Health Month and Pride Month. Both are important reminders that mental health matters for everyone. Men and LGBTQ+ individuals can face unique challenges, including stigma, isolation, pressure to hide emotions, or barriers to seeking support. Creating safe, supportive, and inclusive communities can make a meaningful difference.

This month is a reminder to check in with one another, encourage open conversations about mental health, and help reduce stigma around asking for help. Small actions like listening without judgment, reaching out to a friend, or sharing resources can help people feel seen, supported and connected. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support 24/7.
