Practicing gratitude has been proven to increase happiness. It can be as simple as taking a few minutes to reflect on a few simple things in our life. Sunshine, a friend, a good meal.

Life gets busy and sometimes maybe we feel like we don't know what to say, but we all have the ability to have a caring conversation. And for someone who is struggling with thoughts of su***de, one conversation could make all the difference.

A su***de safer community is one in which we take the time to ask the hard questions, hold space for big and challenging feelings, and really listen when it matters.

Whether you are checking in on a friend, or there is something heavy on your own mind, things can get better when we talk about what's really going on.

At NEED2 we know that mental health struggle does not always look like we expect and we may be surprised who is having the hardest time.
Those who are struggling often feel isolated and alone in their experience and do not always know who they can turn to.
As we lead up to World Su***de Prevention Day on September 10th we want to encourage fostering community and open communication. encourages us to reach out and check in our friends, family and neighbours to find out how they're really doing. And reminds us that there's power and healing in opening up and talking about the hard things we're going through.
