Signs for mental health help to be installed on Portsmouth bridge after suicide attempts

New Hampshire officials are working with Maine and Seacoast mental health advocates to install suicide prevention signs on the Piscataqua River Bridge after three suicide attempts last week on Portsmouth bridges.

The city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has installed new signs on the Memorial Bridge to promote mental health awareness and provide support for individuals in crisis. These signs, which read "You Are Not Alone" and include the contact information for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988), aim to offer hope and a reminder of available resources to those struggling with mental health issues. The initiative was spearheaded by local mental health advocates and supported by the city's leadership, reflecting a community effort to address mental health stigma and encourage those in need to seek help.
