In honor of September being National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, I created a deck of cards promoting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Proceeds are donated to Vibrant Emotional Health, the administrator of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Donations to Vibrant Emotional Health help to ensure everyone can achieve mental well-being with dignity and respect. Together, we can transform lives and strengthen communities across the country.

For this special deck edition playing cards I chose to feature Forget Me Not flowers because those who have lost their lives to suicide will never be forgotten.

• The repeated phone number 988 acts as the border and will be printed in silver foil
• Courts are recolored to match the back design
• Tuck box will be elegant while featuring beautiful foil on the front
• Pips are outlined in a delicate blue foil
• The flowers that the courts are holding will be in striking blue foil, as well
• Two-way back design
• Custom Ace of Spades
• Duplicate Semi-colon jokers (the semi-colon is a well recognized symbol within the mental health community because it means your story isnt over yet)
• Two extra cards: Statistics and Double Backer

Most of the photos here are artistic renderings. Last photos are the final look of the deck.
