September Is National Suicide Prevention + Action Month
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, September is known around the United States as “National Suicide Prevention
Awareness Month”, most of us are quite aware of suicide. National Suicide Prevention + Action
Month is intended to help promote and give attention to the Suicide Prevention services
available to us and our community. The goal is to speak openly about the topic of suicide to
help erase the stigma surrounding it, and to direct those in need to the appropriate support
services; and
WHEREAS, Suicidal thoughts can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race, orientation, income
level, religion, or background; and
WHEREAS, According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), more than 47,000
people died by suicide in the year 2017; and
WHEARAS, Suicide is the 10" leading cause of death among adults in the US, and nearly 20% of all
suicides were completed by people ages 45-54; and
WHEREAS, West Chicago, Illinois is no different than any other community in the country, but
chooses to publicly state and place our full support behind local educators, mental health
professionals, athletic coaches, pack leaders, police officers, and parents, as partners in supporting
our community in simply being available to one another; and
WHEREAS, local organizations like Suicide Prevention Services (SPS), national organizations like the
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and international groups like Hope For The Day (HFTD)
are on the front lines of a war that many still refuse to discuss, as suicide and mental illness remain
too uncomfortable of a topic to talk about; and
WHEREAS, every member of our community should understand that throughout life’s struggles we
all need the occasional reminder that we are all fighting our own battles; and
WHEREAS, | encourage all residents to take the time to check in with their family, friends, and
neighbors on regular basis and to honestly communicate their appreciation for their existence by
any gesture they deem appropriate. A simple phone call, message, handshake, or hug can go a long
way towards helping someone realize that suicide is not the answer.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that |, Ruben Pineda, do hereby proclaim the month of
September 2019, as National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month in the City of West Chicago.
Proclaimed this 3" day of September, 2019. ia
Mayor Ruben Pineda
City Clerk Nancy M. Smith
