Kimble County proclaims September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Month
Summary
Kimble County Commissioners adopted a Hill Country MHDD proclamation recognizing September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Month and called attention to regional mental-health resources including the Hill Country MHDD Centers and the 988 Lifeline.
The Kimble County Commissioners unanimously adopted a proclamation at their Sept. 9 meeting recognizing September 2025 as Suicide Prevention Month. The proclamation, presented as a Hill Country MHDD item, highlights regional suicide statistics and the importance of evidence-based prevention strategies.
The text attached to the minutes cites statewide and regional data — including statistics provided for the Hill Country MHDD Centers service area — and lists recommended interventions such as stronger economic support, school-based mental-health services and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Commissioner Brayden Schulze moved to accept and adopt the proclamation and Commissioner Kelly Simon seconded the motion; the minutes record the vote as unanimous.
The proclamation was signed by County Judge Hal A. Rose and a set of commissioners as recorded in the meeting packet. The minutes do not enumerate specific county funding or programming commitments linked to the proclamation; it functions as a formal recognition intended to encourage local awareness and support for prevention resources.
