We can help ourselves and each other by speaking/ blogging/posting openly about our struggles. We must not be ashamed to type a Facebook status that says “I’m having a bad day.”

Volunteering, raising funds or walking openly in public for a cause is a wonderful way to help you heal and bring mental illness and suicide out of the darkness.

Ask your loved ones “How are you really?” and not letting an “I’m fine” be the answer if you suspect her or she is stuggling. Ask the tough questions: “Are you thinking of suicide?” Are you thinking of killing yourself?” It is very important to be direct. Being “Suicide Aware” Always. Check out these tips for suicide alertness for everyone.

There are so many ways to reach out to others and truly make an impact, even if we don’t know we are helping.

Please email me at cristicomes@gmail.com if you have any other resources you’d like to add to this list.
