The Alabama Department of Mental Health is excited to introduce the “No Shame” Suicide
Prevention campaign, addressing the stigma surrounding suicide and mental illness. The
campaign speaks not about judgment but rather of the need for communication and
connection. The campaign also features the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number,
988, and how individuals can access the Lifeline and local crisis resources.
If you are in crisis, call 988.
