Something for healthcare professionals to think about when caring for people living with schizophrenia: Families and friends play a crucial role in keeping individuals living with schizophrenia and their loved ones, staff, and the public safe during and after mental health crises. However, healthcare professionals often fail to consistently listen to or involve families and friends or adequately consider the information, support, and care that they might need. #Schizophrenia#MentalHealthAwareness

Suicide is preventable. Behind every statistic is a life that could have been saved with timely, compassionate intervention. Here are some impactful facts: - Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death worldwide, yet most cases are preventable. - Over 800,000 people die due to suicide every year—that’s one person every 40 seconds. - Research shows that for every person who dies by suicide, there are more than 20 others attempting it. Early intervention and support can significantly reduce these numbers. This Suicide Awareness Month, let’s emphasize prevention. Learn the signs, reach out, and advocate for accessible mental health resources. Together, we can prevent tragedy and promote hope. #SuicidePrevention #HopeThroughAction #PHILLIPSPrograms
