🌟 Suicide Prevention Month: How to Help When Someone is Struggling 🌟 Supporting someone going through a tough time can make all the difference. Here’s how you can be there for them: ✅ Check-In Regularly: A simple "How are you?" can open the door to important conversations. 👂 Listen Supportively: Sometimes, being there to listen is the greatest support you can offer. ❓ No Need for any Answers: You don’t have to solve anything—your presence alone is powerful. 📍 Know Local Resources: Be aware of available support systems and gently guide them if they need more help. 🤝 Assist, Don’t Take Over: Offer to help find information, but remember—they need to feel in control. Let’s work together to create a #SaferFromSuicide world! 🌍 #LivingWorks #SuicidePrevention #WSPD2024

Tomorrow is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. We’ll be joining the National Suicide Prevention Alliance in reminding people that talking about suicide doesn’t increase the risk. You don’t need to find the perfect words. By talking about suicide, you can help break the stigma. #LanguageMatters #StartTheConversation.
