September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
When we look at county and state data, older adults are dying from suicide more than most other age groups, so we'd like to remind you: Loneliness, loss of interest in activities, isolated behavior, and trouble sleeping are NOT a normal part of aging.
Clackamas County offers many resources to older adults to allow them to age in place and feel connected, engaged and valued. But all of us— youth, adult children, and other community members -- can play a part in supporting older adults, too.
