"I want people to be unafraid to ask, 'Have you had suicidal thoughts?'" After a suicide attempt, Rebekah called us. A volunteer asking, "Are you feeling suicidal?" gave her space to say 'yes' and get the help she needed. Watch her full story πŸ‘‰ bit.ly/3MuVuHq

We have 4 grief principles: grief is unique, there is no linear timeline, grief can cause physical symptoms, and we must support ourselves before others. Your grief never leaves you, although over time, with the right support, you can build your life back up around your grief.

Today is World Suicide Prevention day. Lets break the stigma and start a conversation #ChangeTheNarrative on suicide, break the silence, and reduce stigma. Let's remind ourselves that hope exists even in the darkest times. #WSPD2024

Repost to share the reminder this #WorldSuicidePreventionDay πŸ‘‡ Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. πŸ’š
