<\/div>\n
Aware of the\u00a0risk factors and warning signs<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0that can lead to suicide … aware of how to have a caring conversation with someone you’re worried about…aware that\u00a0help is always available<\/a>…aware of the fact that prevention starts with simply approaching mental health like the real and important aspect of health that it is. Please type in:\u00a0afsp.org<\/a> if the links do not work.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Think about the people you come into contact with throughout the course of your day. Your family, neighbors, classmates, coworkers, and friends. Do your part in creating a caring culture by being present, taking a moment, listening, and knowing what to look for, not just in others, but yourself. Practice mental health safety by looking both ways – outward and inward – at others and in yourself.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For May Mental Health Awareness Month, we at AFSP are giving you the tools and resources you need to look both ways – knowledgeably and compassionately – to stay aware and take action if you or the people in your community need help.<\/div>\n

Awareness can save a life. Look both ways to stop suicide.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
