Together, we can help #StopSuicide.

It's okay if your growth is happening at a slower rate. Healing takes time. 🌱💙

Rest is productive. Give yourself permission to pause and take a break. 💙💤

You are worthy of the same kindness, grace, and support you give others. 💙

Grieving takes time, and you deserve the space and time to heal.

On #NationalStressAwarenessDay, we want to remind you that it's okay to feel stress. Find a moment today — even if it's just a minute — to take a break and check in with yourself. 💙

When grief asks a lot of us, we must remember to recharge. Rest allows us to find our strength again. 🌱🫂 Find a #SurvivorDay event near you to connect with suicide loss survivors and find understanding and hope through your shared experience. Register: afsp.org/survivorday

It may seem scary but asking someone directly if they are thinking about suicide will not make them suicidal and can actually help.

We'll just leave this here.💙 A message to take with you — not just this #MentalIlnessAwarenessWeek — but each and every day.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay! 💙🌎 If there’s one thing you take away from today, please know that the world needs you here — just as you are. Check in on your own mental health and the mental health of your loved ones, or consider commenting a message of hope for someone below.

Whether you're struggling in silence or not, we see you.💙 We know the emotional struggles you live with everyday are just as real any physical sickness or injury — even if we can't see them. If you’re struggling, call 988 or text TALK to 741741. #MentalIlnessAwarenessWeek
