Take 5 to Save Lives in Support of Suicide Prevention
The Greendale Health Department is asking everyone to Take 5 to Save Lives! Take 5 to Save Lives is a public awareness campaign run by the National Council for Suicide Prevention in support of public awareness events including World Suicide Prevention Day, National Suicide Prevention Month, and National Suicide Prevention Week. The goal of the campaign is to encourage everyone to take five action steps that focus on preventing the tragedy of suicide. Check out take5tosavelives.org to learn more. The five steps include:
- LEARN the warning signs, risk factors, and protective factors of suicide.
- KNOW how to help yourself and others who may be struggling.
- DO raise awareness, advocate for change, volunteer, and practice self-care.
- TALK about suicide, dispel myths, and reduce stigma.
- SHARE Take 5 to Save Lives with others.
Make a difference by taking these 5 easy action steps and joining a worldwide movement to save lives.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is now available.
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provides care and support to people experiencing stressful situations—whether that is thoughts of suicide, a mental health concern, or a substance use issue. It is a free and confidential service that is available 24/7.
People of all ages who need help for themselves or a loved one can access the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by:
- Calling 988 (multiple languages).
- Sending a text message to 988 (English only).
- Using the chat feature at 988lifeline.org (English only).
Wisconsinites who use the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will connect with an in-state service known as the Wisconsin Lifeline. The person contacting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is connected with a trained counselor who takes note of the person's needs, understands how the person's problem is affecting them, provides support, and, if needed, gets the person additional help.
Pick Your Own Picnic
