Summary
While this Sunday marks the start of the NFL’s regular season for most teams—an unofficial holiday for many football fans—it has the potential to be life-changing for reasons that have little to do with sports. September 10 is also World Suicide Prevention Day, and a number of organizations are partnering to use the NFL's platform to help speak to people who might be thinking about taking their own life. They have much to teach us about both the urgency of this issue and our ability to help.
