Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a proclamation recognizing September 2026 as "Suicide Prevention Awareness Month" in Williamson County.

Suicide can impact families, friends and communities regardless of social, economic or educational levels, although the incidence of suicide in men is three times higher than in females. Studies show that every suicide affects an average of five family members and up to 135 community members. Understanding the impact on those left in the wake of suicide highlights the importance of resources, prevention and procedures to care for individuals who are at risk for suicide or have been impacted by it.
