Recent data showed that more than 47,500 people died by su***de in 2019 and 12 million people thought seriously about su***de.

Today is National Grief Awareness Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of the various ways individuals cope with loss.

A few ways to support #NationalGriefAwarenessDay is to support a grieving friend, engage in self-care, and post about it online to help reach more individuals who may be experiencing grief.

Instead of engaging in unhealthy or negative coping behaviors such as substance abuse, we encourage you to embrace healthy coping behaviors such as exercising, listening to music, and talking with a friend.

What are some of your favorite healthy coping behaviors?
