Why this can't wait for September

Every number is a person.

In 2024, 48,824 people in the U.S. died by suicide — about one life every 11 minutes. This counter estimates lives lost today, this year, and since 2023. If one of them could be you or someone you love, help is available right now: call or text 988.

Source: CDC/NCHS FastStats, Suicide and Self-Harm Injury. Counter is an estimate based on the 2023 and 2024 annual totals.

About the movement

Awareness doesn't end in September.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. For one month a year, the conversation gets loud — and then it goes quiet. Beyond September exists for the other eleven months.

We are a year-round movement turning awareness into education, participation, and meaningful action: learning resources with real sources, campaigns people can join, and merchandise that carries the message into everyday life.

Beyond September is not a therapy, medical, or crisis service. When someone needs support, we point to it — directly, and without detours.
