Don't be afraid to ask the question: "are you or someone you know thinking about suicide?" If the answer is yes, you could save a life.

Call the national suicide crisis line at 988 for support.

Ever wondered what we mean when we talk about "substances" instead of "drugs"? This free module will give you a good overview of commonly misused substances and their effects on the body and mind. https://t.co/gB3H1qJKUj

You don't have to be in absolute crisis to get help. Your experience of distress will look different. Pay attention to your feelings and symptoms, and don't be afraid to seek help early on. Prevention is better than cure! #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
