Did you know this?
When referring to someone who has killed themselves, it’s better to say they have “died by su***de” instead of saying they “committed su***de”. This small change in language has a huge impact in saving lives!
Research has shown that the term “committed” has a negative connotation associated with it, making people who have suicidal thoughts feel guilty for how they are feeling. If they feel like they will be greeting with shame instead of comfort and understanding when reaching out for help, they may never take the necessary steps in getting help.
If you’ve used the phrase “committed su***de”, it’s okay! Safe language is something we have to learn about. Moving forward, if you are talking about someone who has lost their life to su***de, try talking about it without the harsh word of “committed”. You never know who around you will notice and appreciate your care in safe language! 💕

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Taking care of your mind doesn’t have to be complicated. It can look like a short walk, a few deep breaths, or checking in with someone you trust.
Small actions, done consistently, can make a real difference.

This month, take a moment for yourself.
