Culturally Specific Communities – Suicide Prevention Messaging

Why they’re vulnerable:

Racial, ethnic, and immigrant communities may face language barriers, stigma around mental health, limited access to care, and cultural pressures to remain silent. These factors often lead to underreported and underserved needs.

Tone: Culturally aware, trust-building, and non-clinical.

Core Messages:

• ‘Mental health is part of whole health. Seeking support honors your strength.’
• ‘It’s okay to break generational silence. Talking saves lives.’
• ‘Healing looks different in every culture—and it starts with being heard.’
• ‘Your life is part of your community’s future. You are deeply needed.’
