Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it’s something many people struggle with quietly. This month serves as a reminder that taking care of your mental well-being matters, and that no one should feel alone when facing life’s challenges.
Equally important is checking in on others. A simple conversation, a listening ear, or a small act of kindness can make a powerful difference for someone who may be struggling
At Ascension Parish Government, we believe in building a community where mental health is supported, conversations are encouraged, and seeking help is seen as a sign of strength.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please remember that help is always available:
Call or text the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 for immediate, free, and confidential support — available 24/7.
Ascension Parish Government employees can also call the Employee Assistance Program at 800-622-7276 — available 24/7.
You are not alone. Support, understanding, and hope are always within reach
