Community Healthcore asks Harrison County to declare September 2025 Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

Community Healthcore representatives presented a proclamation asking Harrison County to designate September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, citing local harm and the need for broader access to prevention resources. "Whereas suicide remains the leading cause of death nationally and locally," Patty Brady read, and asked the court to "call upon all residents, organizations, and institutions to join us in promoting mental health." The proclamation asked the county to publicly support the zero-suicide framework and to post resources on the county website.
