It’s Youth Su***de Prevention Month. When a young person in your life seems off, it’s easy to hold back because you’re not sure what to say. You don’t need training or perfect words. Mentioning that you’ve noticed a change and asking how they’re really doing can make it easier for them to open up.

💬 Check in. Listen. Let them know you’re there.
📞 If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 (Su***de & Crisis Lifeline) anytime.
