โIt takes a village,โ the saying goes, but we never stop needing our village. ๐ Let this be your reminder to be the person who checks in, listens without judgment, and shows up for the people around you.
If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 anytime, 24/7.
๐ Today marks the beginning of Su***de Prevention Month, observed throughout September.
This month, IACNVL is uplifting the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline as a resource for su***de prevention and emotional support.
Prevention starts with connection. Check in on your loved ones. Ask how theyโre really doing. Listen without judgment. Sometimes, having a healthy but hard conversation with someone who is struggling can make all the difference.
You donโt need the perfect words or all the answers. Being present, listening, and helping someone connect with support can be a powerful first step.
๐ Call or text 988
๐ฌ Chat with the 988 Lifeline 24/7
988 is available for anyone who is going through a difficult time, needs someone to talk to, or is thinking about su***de. Their goal is to help people reduce stress, feel supported, and feel empowered to make healthy decisions.
This September, letโs check in, start the conversation, and remind the people around us that they are not alone. ๐
