Trying to make someone who is experiencing suicidal thoughts, feel guilty or selfish is not going to help them. Instead, it will most likely prevent that person from ever reaching out to you for help again because they will feel judged. Start by just listening. #StopSuicide

Did you know: a large part of anxiety comes from a sense of what we think we should be able to control, but can’t.

[Victor Armstrong, MSW @1of2vics]

Even on the darkest nights, the stars still shine and remind us that there is light and hope in the world. Be someone's star today offering words of encouragement, a listening ear, or just a moment of your time. You may give them a reason to hold onto hope….or life. #StopSuicide

[Victor Armstrong, MSW @1of2vics]

When a loved one is living with mental health challenges, we often tend to blame them for their symptoms. Remember, no one chooses to experience severe depression or anxiety, and nobody wants to have suicidal thoughts. What they do want is human connection. #StopSuicide

[Victor Armstrong, MSW @1of2vics]

If you’ve ever lost someone to suicide, it’s easy to blame yourself but it wasn’t your fault. You did what you knew to do at the time. If your loved one was lost, it was because they could no longer bear their pain. It wasn’t because you didn’t love them enough. #StopSuicide
