Suicide Awareness: Breaking the Silence, Building Hope
At Cerebral Counseling & Consulting, we believe talking about suicide saves lives. Learn how to ask direct, compassionate questions, follow the STOP protocol if someone says “yes,” and connect to resources like the 988 Lifeline, Prince William CSB, and NAMI NOVA. Providers can access CDP suicide prevention training to build skills in risk assessment and safety planning. Together, we can break stigma and support mental health.
