#ThursdayVibes Fall is a time for reflection. Many religions see this as a time to examine our lifestyle, to re-dedicate ourselves to a path of compassion, faith and understanding. Join us on that path. #Volunteer to help those who need #care and #support. bit.ly/3IyK6HZ

#NationalCoachesDay Coaches shape how we respond to all types of problems and are often the ones we turn to for advice. Parents, bosses, teachers are all coaches in some way and should know how to respond to people struggling with their #MentalHealth See bit.ly/3NozYCL

Samaritans Centers throughout the world utilize active listening and empathetic response. It is a skill that can be learned and mastered with practice. And it DOES help people get through difficult times.

Communities across the country need more volunteers to provide essential services and strengthen the safety net. Volunteering makes you feel good about yourself while you are making an important contribution to society.

This is especially true for homeless students in the NYC school system. Thanks @chrisquinn and @ebottcher for focusing on an often overlooked and underserved high-risk population.

TOMORROW: Join @PBS + @tpt on Tuesday, 9/13 at 9pm ET for the nationwide premiere of Facing Suicide, exploring the stories of Americans impacted by suicide + the those at the forefront of suicide prevention efforts. More: pbs.org/show/facing-su… #BeThere #FacingSuicidePBS #SPM22

A valuable resource to share and to utilize as a component of an individual's safety plan.

#MentalHealthMatters And You Can Make a Difference! These are difficult times and many people are having trouble coping. #Volunteering on our #community hotline once a week helps save lives. #MondayMotivation Still time to apply for 9/17 training. Go to: bit.ly/3IyK6HZ

#NeverForget those who we lost and those who struggle to survive. #September11 reminds us we are all in this together and we all can have trouble coping with our #mentalhealth. For resources go to bit.ly/3v1CwzX To #volunteer on our crisis hotline bit.ly/3IyK6HZ

#SuicidePreventionDay There's a major increase in the number of people in need of emotional support and a major decrease in the number of people to help them. A Call Can Save A Life, but only if someone is there to answer that call. #Volunteer #Healthcare bit.ly/32b26Y5

#startrekday Great #mentalhealth mantra from early Star Trek episode: "Just because we don't understand someone, it doesn't make them wrong!" that all #healthcare and #suicideprevention staff should remember. Become a hotline #volunteer and open your mind. bit.ly/3IyK6HZ

As we recognize Suicide Prevention Month during the month September, and World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10, 2022, we have an opportunity to raise the consciousness of suicide and suicide prevention, intervention and post…lnkd.in/eHVnf_HD lnkd.in/e_UF4GEm

Spread the word! If we are going to provide alternatives to 988 and #preventsuicide more #volunteers are needed for #suicideprevention hotlines. Talk is cheap, listening priceless. #stopsuicide #Tuesdayvibe @SaltySicky @nonprofitorgs @theADHDacademic bit.ly/3IyK6HZ

100 days until @nycmarathon! Find out why @jgooders and I are running for @SamaritansNYC johnandjon.run #TCSNYCMarathon 🗽 #NewYorkMarathon 🏃

#BobCostas Thinking his detailed anecdote about #suicide was amusing when it is the leading preventable cause of death of the majority of the audience watching the #SubwaySeries shows a real lack of awareness. #MentalHealthMatters

Confidentiality matters! But one size does not fit all. Not 988, not @Samaritans #PreventingSuicide takes a #community. The more choices people have, the more likely they will seek #help. Developing a safety plan is a good place to start. bit.ly/3kQsVqe #mentalhealth
