Supporting and actively engaging with programs, services, and individuals to promote awareness and reduce the incidence of suicide in MetroWest (Massachusetts)
Welcome to the MetroWest Regional Coalition for Suicide Prevention Twitter! We share tweets from our collaborative membership, suicide prevention advocates, and other suicide prevention resources. We hope you'll follow us.
If you or someone you know is struggling or needs support now, call or text 988 or chat https://t.co/FlVN0o0iDC – You are not alone. #988Lifeline@988lifeline
If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide or experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis, @988Lifeline provides 24/7 connection to confidential support. There is Hope. Just call or text 988 or chat https://t.co/FlVN0o0Qta #988Lifeline
Americans can now call 988, instead of 911, to talk to mental health counselors/providers if they are experiencing a mental health crisis. Callers will be connected to trained counselors – not clinicians – who can offer free emotional support. https://t.co/MbvUJtUsxQ
988 is a direct connection to compassionate, accessible care & support for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress– whether thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis or other emotional distress. People can dial 988 if they're worried about a loved one.
Launching July 16, in Massachusetts and across the US, 988 will offer 24/7/365 non-clinical, compassionate, emotional support for callers and referrals to additional resources, as needed. Support will be available in multiple languages. Learn more: https://t.co/b7KitkpNoO
