In recognition of September as Suicide Prevention Month, BoroSAFE is sponsoring an awareness campaign throughout the Hillsborough community. This year’s theme is #BeThe1To, created by the Suicide Prevention Lifeline to spread the word about actions we can all take to prevent suicide. This message is aimed at changing the conversation from suicide to suicide prevention, to reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues, promote healing, and give hope. 

Local events include: 

• Hillsborough Township Proclamation of Suicide Prevention Month: Sept, 14 @ 7:30 PM at the Municipal Building
• "Penelope the Powerful Parrot" @ Bridgewater Commons: Sat. Sept 18 sponsored by NJ Hope & Healing
• Promoting Mental Health & Wellness: A Webinar for Families with Children of All Wed. Sept. 29 6:30 PM presented by Minding Your Mind
