💚 This weekend, our NAMI Mid-Ohio team was honored to be part of the Delaware County Su***de Prevention Walk.

It was a powerful reminder that hope is real, help is here, and no one has to walk alone.

We are grateful to everyone who showed up to support mental health, remember loved ones, and spread light in our community. 🌟

***dePreventionMonth reminds us that silence can cost lives — and conversation can save them. Start a conversation. Be the difference. Learn how at nami.org/su***depreventionmonth.

💙Studies show people who are having thoughts of su***de feel relief when someone asks about them in a caring way. Learn more on how you can support someone through a crisis at nami.org/su***depreventionmonth.

🗣️Opening the door to begin a conversation can really help. Not sure where to start? Try one of these opening lines to help make starting the conversation easier.

🔹"I've noticed you've been down lately, everything okay?"

🔹"We haven't talked in awhile, how are you?"

🔹"I know you are going through stuff, I am here for you."

🔹"No matter what you are going through, I got your back. Call me anytime."

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is here. 📞 In a crisis? Call/text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline 24/7. #988 Su***dePreventionMonth

***dePreventionMonth reminds us that talking about su***de isn’t harmful — silence is.

One honest conversation can be a turning point in someone’s life. Throughout this month — and beyond — we invite you to share the messages below or create your own about Su***de Prevention Month through the power of courageous community conversations.

💙 Concerned about a friend?
You might not be certain your friend is displaying worrisome signs regarding their mental health. Here are a few signs to look for as a guide:
🔹Impulsive behaviors or being more irritated than usual
🔹Not functioning like their usual selves (i.e., change in habits of how they dress, general appearance, eating or sleep habits)
🔹Talking about feelings of loneliness or despair
🔹Excessive worry
🔹Trouble concentrating
🔹Substance misuse

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is here. 📞 In a crisis? Call/text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline 24/7. #988 Su***dePreventionMonth
