PATT Foundation’s Post

#Mentalhealth is more than an awareness week. It’s something we've been talking about for years. 🗣 1 in 5 people have suicidal thoughts 🗣 1 in 14 people self-harm 🗣 1 in 15 people attempt suicide. If this is shocking to you, go beyond just liking and sharing: 🗨 Speak to five people you haven’t spoken to in a while - don’t just text; have a conversation (in person if possible). 👂 Listen to what they have to say. 🤲 Offer support without any advice or judgment.

⚠️Content Warning ⚠️ This video contains discussions of suicide. It’s a difficult subject to speak with our kids about, but a necessary one. As we reflect on World Suicide Prevention Day, we’re sharing an extremely brave conversation between the HiHo Kids and a suicide survivor. Together, they explore the root of suicidal thoughts and depression, and discuss the importance of seeking support—from family, friends, therapists, and communities. 🧡 Talking openly, listening, and offering kind words can truly make a world of difference. By fostering understanding and compassion, we can create a safe space for those who need it most. Remember, you’re never alone. 🤝 #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #YouMatter #MentalHealthMatters #EndTheSilence
