Need help but aren’t sure who to call? ❤️

Knowing where to turn during a mental health or substance use crisis can make all the difference.

📱 Call, text, or chat 988 for support with:

Mental health concerns
Thoughts of su***de
Substance use concerns
Emotional distress or crisis

🚨 Call 911 when there is an immediate physical danger or a life-threatening emergency.

You don’t have to know exactly what to say or have everything figured out before reaching out. Help is available, and taking that first step matters.

Save these numbers—you never know when you or someone you care about may need them.

💚 Healthy Boundaries Are Good for Your Mental Health

Setting boundaries in relationships isn’t about pushing people away—it’s about creating healthier, more respectful connections while taking care of yourself.

Healthy boundaries can help you:
• Protect your time and energy by learning when to say no.
• Reduce stress and resentment by communicating your needs clearly.
• Build healthier relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.
• Strengthen self-worth by recognizing that your feelings and needs matter.

Remember, you don’t have to feel guilty for setting a boundary. Saying “no,” asking for space, or communicating what you’re comfortable with can be an important part of taking care of your mental well-being.

Healthy boundaries create room for healthier relationships—and a healthier you. 🌱

These are some risk factors for su***de, and they may help you recognize if someone is at risk for su***de.

Sometimes the warning signs aren’t obvious. A person at risk may not directly say they are thinking about su***de, but changes in their words, behavior, or emotions can be important signals.

🚩 Watch for signs such as:
* Talking about feeling hopeless, trapped, worthless, or like a burden
* Saying things like “I can’t do this anymore” or “Everyone would be better without me”
* Withdrawing from friends, family, work, or activities they normally enjoy
* Giving away meaningful possessions or putting personal affairs in order
* Sudden, extreme changes in mood or behavior
* Increasing alcohol or drug use
* Taking unusual risks or acting recklessly
* Talking about death or su***de, researching ways to die, or making a plan

Trust your instincts. If you’re concerned about someone, don’t be afraid to ask directly, “Are you thinking about su***de?” Asking does not put the idea in someone’s head. It can open the door to an honest conversation and help someone feel less alone.

If someone may be in immediate danger, stay with them if you can and call/text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Sometimes, simply noticing, asking, and listening can make a difference. ❤️

Hope and resilience don’t have to come from big, life-changing moments. Sometimes, they grow from the small things we do every day.

Try building these simple habits into your routine:
• Get outside: Take a few minutes to enjoy fresh air and a change of scenery.
• Practice gratitude: Write down one thing you’re grateful for each day.
• Stay connected: Reach out to someone who makes you feel supported.
• Set small goals: Choose one achievable goal and celebrate when you accomplish it.
• Make time to rest: Give yourself permission to slow down and recharge when you need it.

These simple habits can create a sense of stability, connection, and progress—even during challenging times.

You don’t have to change everything at once. Small steps, repeated consistently, can help build a stronger foundation for hope and resilience. 💚
