🌟 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

💬 Four simple steps to a #RUOK conversation: 1️⃣ Ask – It starts with, 'Are you okay?' 2️⃣ Listen – With an open mind, no judgment. 3️⃣ Encourage – Support them in taking action. 4️⃣ Check-in – Your follow-up matters. #SuicidePrevention #LivingWorks

🌎 Today, on #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, we unite under the theme 'Changing The Narrative on Suicide.' 💬 Every conversation, no matter how small, is a step towards building a more compassionate and #SaferFromSuicide world. Let’s break the silence, support one another, and make #MentalHealth a priority. Together, we can make a lasting impact and ensure that no one has to face their struggles alone. #SuicidePrevention is our shared responsibility. #LivingWorks #WSPD2024 #SuicidePreventionMonth

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.
