💚 September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month.

This month, the LumberKings stand together to raise awareness, encourage open conversations about mental health, and remind everyone of the importance of checking in on the people around us.

Our friends at Norwich City FC in England produced this powerful video with a simple but important message: sometimes, the signs that someone is struggling aren’t always easy to see. Take the time to check in, listen, and be there for one another.

You never know how much a conversation can mean. 💚
