Sept is Suicide Prevention Month. We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of mental health.
If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health concerns, speak with a counselor right away. They are here to assist you! 💚
Regularly adjusting backpacks is essential. Shoulder straps should be tightened so the backpack remains close to the body & does not dangle loosely.
