Stories save lives.
We know from research that suicide can be prevented and that sharing personal experiences can be a powerful tool in preventing suicide.
Itโs critical that everyone feels empowered and supported when bravely talking about their mental health experiences.
When we come together, we remind each other that hope is still possible, even on days that feel heavier than the last. ๐
Healing happens when communities gather, take time to discuss grief, and acknowledge that everyone heals in their own way and at their own pace.
From sadness and anger to love and even laughter, grief can bring up a wide range of emotions. No matter what youโre feeling, remember, youโre allowed to feel it. Itโs important to acknowledge those emotions as they come instead of holding them in.
