At Clean Beauty Collective, we believe in taking care of ourselves and each other. As Suicide Prevention Week approaches from September 10th to September 16th, we are deeply committed to raising awareness to the organizations that are making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Suicide Prevention Week is a critical time to reflect on the importance of mental health and to reach out to those who may be struggling. We encourage everyone to come together, share resources, and support one another in these challenging times. And we are proud to stand with these organizations that provide hope and healing to individuals in crisis.
