Most of the time, there are warning signs. We might not want to admit it, but most of the time, they are there. Most of the time, it is a scary situation, how a person will react if you ask them about it, what will you do if they admit to being in a bad place. Other times we just don't want to get involved, we have to much on our own plate. But my lesson, that I share with you today is: If you care about them, be courageous enough to ask, be willing to listen, and learn about the resources available to both of you. Resources that I recommend: 👍 American Foundation for Suicide Prevention ☎ #988 crisis line 📞 Local Crisis teams - google search for yours 💻 Employee Assistance Program (EAP) - offered by most employers 👥 Survivors who share their stories #bevulnerable #listen #beprepared #advocate

Prioritize your mental health. Be kind to each other, check on someone just to say you care. Consider signing up for a walk near you - we can never raise too much awareness around the prevention of suicide. #OutofTheDarkness #mentalhealthmatters

Taking on a challenge is good for your mental health and can push you to achieve beyond what you think is possible! That is why next month I’ll be walking 1.8 million steps (1084 miles) in 90 days to raise money for Diabetes UK . Here is a little video that I put together in preparation for the 1st July.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. Today I think of my cousin Tommy, a soul taken from us too soon as a result of suicide. Not a day has gone by that I have not missed him and wished we could talk. Every year I have kept his memory alive by donating to the #AFSP or participating in their charity walks and raising money to prevent future losses. I have gotten to know this community in a way no one wishes to, as a suicide loss survivor. Through this involvement, I have found peace knowing I have played a part in someone else's healing. The theme for #WorldSuicidePrevention Day for this year is "Changing the Narrative on Suicide," with the call to action "Start the Conversation." "This theme aims to raise awareness about the importance of reducing stigma and encouraging open conversations to prevent suicides. Changing the narrative on suicide is about transforming how we perceive this complex issue and shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support. The call to action encourages everyone to start the conversation on suicide and suicide prevention. Every conversation, no matter how small, contributes to a supportive and understanding society. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of support." - World Health Organization Today, I implore you to think of ways you can actively prevent suicide and raise awareness. Please reference the #AFSP and World Health Organization's resources.

Awareness is the first step in bringing the grim statistics of suicide to the surface: *Over 49,000 Americans died by suicide in 2022 -- That equates to 1 death every 11 minutes. *The suicide rate among males in 2022 was approximately four times higher than the rate among females. Males make up 50% of the population but nearly 80% of suicides. *Suicide was the second leading cause of death for people ages 10–14 and 20–34 in 2021. Not sure what the answer is, but these are humbling statistics. I know I/we can do better. #inthistogether #tomorrowsgeneration #belonging #988
