Many people still don’t know what 988 is, and it can save lives.

988 is the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. You can call, text, or chat for free, confidential support if you are experiencing emotional distress, a mental health crisis, or just need someone to talk to.

You don’t have to be in immediate danger to reach out. You don’t need to explain everything perfectly. You just need to start the call. They are there to help. 💜

Please share this post to help more people learn what 988 is for. Awareness truly makes a difference!

🖤 135

That’s the number of people impacted by every single su***de.

Not just one life lost…
But families, friends, coworkers, classmates, entire communities.

The ripple effect is real.
And it reaches farther than we often realize.

In Adams County, we believe in showing up for each other —
in checking in, speaking up, and standing together under one umbrella of support.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is listen, show compassion, and simply be present.

This article shares important reminders about what not to say to su***de loss survivors and how we can better support those who are grieving.

Su***de Prevention for Farmers
Farmers face incredible stress—financial pressure, isolation, long hours, and uncertainty. They are 3.5 times more likely to die by su***de than the general population.

Behind every farm is a person who may be struggling silently.

🚜 How you can help:
• Check in and ask how they’re doing
• Listen without judgment
• Encourage connection and support
• Remind them they are not alone

📞 Help is available 24/7: Call or Text 988
Ohio CareLine: 1-800-720-9616

Farmers feed our communities. Let’s help protect them, too. 💜

For years, Sol Tsonis lived with anxiety and depression. Today, she’s using her voice to help others feel less alone.☀️

On the latest episode of Voices for Su***de Prevention, Sol shares how she found the right therapy, used medication as a bridge, and redefined self-care as maintenance, not indulgence.

Her message is simple: tell one trusted person. Try therapy. Protect your spark.✨

📞 When Should You Call 911 or 988? Knowing the Difference Can Save a Life.

Mental health crises can feel overwhelming—for the person struggling and for those who care about them. Knowing who to call in the moment can make all the difference.

🚨 Call 911 if:
• Someone has already attempted su***de
• Someone has a weapon and may harm themselves or others
• Someone is unconscious, injured, or needs immediate medical attention
• Someone is in immediate, life-threatening danger
• You believe the situation could turn dangerous quickly

911 provides emergency medical and safety response.

💜
Call or Text 988 if:
• Someone is thinking about su***de
• Someone is in emotional distress or having a mental health crisis
• Someone feels hopeless, overwhelmed, or unable to cope
• Someone needs immediate emotional support
• You’re worried about someone and don’t know what to do

988 connects you to trained crisis counselors who will listen, support, and help keep people safe.

You don’t have to wait until it’s “bad enough.” If you’re unsure, reach out.

It’s always okay to ask for help. It’s always okay to care. And it’s always okay to stay.

You are not alone.
Help is real.
