Everyone needs help sometimes. It’s not weird to talk about how you feel. Think about who you can turn to: 📌 A friend who listens and cares 📌 A parent/guardian or older sibling 📌 A teacher, school counselor, school social worker or coach 📌 A faith leader or mentor in your community Having a plan can make the chat less stressful or awkward. 📌 Pick a quiet time or place. 📌 Decide if you want to talk, text or write it down on paper. 📌 Think of one thing you want the other person to know. 📌 You don’t have to explain everything. You can start with: “I’m having a hard time, and I don’t know what to do.” “I’ve been feeling really sad, but I don’t know why.” “Can we talk? I’ve been feeling really down.” "I need help but I’m not sure where to start.” You matter. Help is here. Text, call or chat 988 anytime for free confidential help. #BelieveYouMatter #SuicidePreventionMonth #MentalHealthMonday #BelongBelieveAchieve
