The Never a Bother campaign, as part of the broader CYBHI, is a youth suicide prevention awareness and outreach campaign for youth, young adults, and their parents, caregivers, and allies. The Never a Bother campaign was co-created with young people across California and aims to:

• Increase knowledge and awareness of suicide warning signs, crisis lines, and other sources of support.
• Help young people ask for help, validate that they deserve help and they are not a “bother,” and communicate that they are not alone in supporting themselves or a friend before, during, and after a crisis.
• Strengthen young people’s, parents,’ and caregivers’ skills in recognizing suicide warning signs and their ability to effectively intervene.

Visit NeveraBother.org to learn how you can support yourself, a friend, or a youth in your care before, during, and after a crisis.
If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide, you are not alone. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (24/7). Trained professionals can reconnect you with your reasons to keep going and show you ways to cope with difficult days.
