September is National Suicide Prevention Month

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and the USPS Employee Assistance Program is using this time to remind employees and their loved ones about the support it offers.

The program, also known as EAP, uses the month to increase awareness of the warning signs and risk factors associated with suicide, promoting early intervention and reducing the stigma around mental health challenges.

The campaign seeks to create an environment where those who are struggling feel less alone and more apt to seek help. Open conversations are encouraged, and guidance will be shared on recognizing when someone may be in crisis and how to offer meaningful support.

Campaign materials are available for download throughout September on the monthly focus page and year-round on the suicide prevention page of the EAP website.

Additional information and support is available by phone at 800-327-4968 (800-EAP-4YOU) or by TTY at 877-492-7341.
