Daily Notices…
Today marks the 25th anniversary of September 11th, 2001—a day that changed our nation forever. We pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, honor the brave first responders who ran toward danger, and recognize the resilience of those who survived. With each year that passes, we continue to carry the responsibility to never forget. We remember not only the tragedy, but the unity and compassion that followed.
Let us take a moment of silence to honor their memory and recommit ourselves to building a world defined by understanding and hope.
Happy Friday, HHS! September is National Suicide Prevention Month. SADD wants to remind all members of HHS that you are not alone with whatever you are going through. Reach out to anybody when you need help. If you are concerned about a loved one, reach out to the necessary services to give them the support that they deserve. Remember that you are not alone. We are all trying to navigate life, and you don't need to have everything figured out right now. You are loved and worthy of living a fulfilled life. Anyone who is struggling is advised to reach out to a trusted individual or contact 988, the national suicide prevention hotline available 24/7.
