Today, Random Acts honors those who were lost in the horrific attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, on Sept. 11, 2001. Our hearts go out to the families of victims, who continue to show the world what bravery looks like. #NeverForget911 #UnitedWeStand

#WorldSuicidePreventionDay is a day dedicated to engaging and informing people about suicide prevention. 

Take some time out of your day to get informed and educated about suicide prevention. 

Listen. Make sure people feel like they’re heard and important. 

Self care – you are just as deserving of it. Take a moment to do something that is good for your soul/inner peace.

We at Random Acts would like to give a big thank you to @imalivecrisischat as we wrap up our Crisis Counselor Training program. 

We have been so excited to partner with IMAlive and we are proud to say that we have provided funding to train over 1,000 crisis volunteers! 

We are now funding an additional 200 slots for IMAlive counselors. To apply for one of these 200 spots, go here to begin the screening. IMAlive will be notifying you if you are able to fill one of the slots. 

We continue to be huge supporters of IMAlive and are excited how much we have helped them to grow!

Happy #GrandparentsDay
