If you know people who are at risk, or you are at risk, find out what you can do for others or yourself. Check out the hotlines for immediate help for mental struggles, whether your own or another’s. 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙖𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙.

Recognizing the signs is crucial—they may include isolating yourself, feeling hopeless, talking about death, giving away possessions, increased substance use, mood swings, risk-taking behavior, or accessing harmful means. If you or someone you know is struggling, it’s important to acknowledge that feelings are temporary and help is available. Coping strategies such as identifying triggers, practicing self-care, building a support network, and staying active can make a difference.

If you're concerned about someone, listen to them calmly, express care, and remove any dangerous objects from their environment. Stay with them until help arrives and follow up after the crisis has passed. Remember, support can be a lifeline, and there are services ready to help.
