If someone you know tells you they’ve been thinking about suicide, don’t forget to take the last step and #BeThe1To FOLLOW UP with them. It can make all the difference. #FOLLOWUP #SPM22 #BeThere #ArtHeals

[Texas System of Care @txsystemofcare]

If someone you know is thinking about suicide, take the fourth step; #BeThe1To help them CONNECT to resources. Help them build a support
system, including 988Lifeline, family, friends, faith leaders, coaches, coworkers, or therapists.

If you ask someone if they are thinking about suicide and they say "yes," take the third step and #BeThe1To KEEP TEXANS SAFE. Separate them from anything they are thinking of using to hurt themselves.

[Texas System of Care @txsystemofcare]

If you think someone might be considering suicide, take the first step and #BeThe1To ASK. Ask directly about suicide. Let the person know you are concerned about their well-being.

There are many things we can do to combat the youth mental health crisis. While funding is important, many strategies don't require significant funding; they merely require us to allow time to connect to our commonalities and shared humanity. https://t.co/mxuBafbCcj
