2023 KANSAS SUICIDE PREVENTION AWARENESS MONTH

Awe is a powerful emotion that is often associated with the experience of beauty or grandeur. Recent research has shown that experiencing awe can have a variety of positive effects on individuals, including increasing feelings of wellbeing, reducing stress, and promoting prosocial behavior. The science of awe is still in its early stages, but researchers are beginning to understand some of the ways in which this emotion can impact our lives. Whether it’s through witnessing a stunning natural landscape or marveling at the achievements of human ingenuity, experiencing awe can be a transformative experience that reminds us of the beauty and complexity of the world around us.

This month, we will be emphasizing how experiencing awe in our daily lives can be transformative and uplifting, especially in the realm of suicide prevention. We hope you will join us in #FeelingAWEfull.
