A Note From Our FounderDr. Michelle Boodoo |
|
Suicidal ideation is a complex mental health issue that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It's crucial to understand that many individuals who contemplate suicide may not express their feelings openly. By recognizing the warning signs, we can offer support and help prevent a tragic outcome. Please learn the warning signs before it is too late. |

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there, especially those with a grieving heart. |

| Ask for Help
It's okay to ask for help when you're struggling with your mental health. Seeking support doesn't make you weak; it shows strength and courage. Whether it's talking to a friend, reaching out to a therapist, or seeking community resources, remember that support is available. You don't have to face challenges alone. Your well-being matters, and it's okay to prioritize it.

It’s Okay to Not be Okay
Suicide is a permanent response to a temporary problem. It's important to remember that it's okay not to be okay. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're struggling, reach out to friends, family, or a mental health professional. There are people who care and resources available to support you through tough times. Your life is valuable, and there is hope and help available. |

Each day brings a chance to grow, evolve, and become a better version of ourselves. By letting go of past burdens, we open ourselves to many possibilities. Let go of the burdens of yesterday! |

See Something, Say Something
Seeing beauty in others and sharing it can brighten someone's day in ways you might never imagine. It could be a kind gesture or how they smile; letting someone know you noticed can boost their confidence and spread positivity. A simple compliment can create a ripple effect of kindness and connection. So, if you see something beautiful in someone, tell them. It might be what they need to hear.

| Check on Your Happy Friends
While checking in on friends who may be struggling with their mental health is crucial, we also need to reach out to our seemingly happy friends. Sometimes, those who appear the happiest on the surface may be silently battling their own struggles.
A simple message or call to check in can make a world of difference. Let's be there for each other, lending an ear, offering support, and reminding our friends that they are not alone. |

Mental Health Matters
Taking care of your mental health matters. Just as we prioritize physical well-being, it's essential to take care of our mental health, whether through therapy, self-care routines, or reaching out to loved ones. Your mental health is important. You're not alone, and it's okay to seek help when needed. Let's break the stigma and prioritize mental well-being together. |
