❄️ As winter approaches, we may find our loved ones experience increased depression, hardship, or even crisis. 😔

To help a loved one during the winter there are several things you can do including providing emotional support by listening without judgment, offering practical help like assisting with errands, preparing meals, or ensuring their home is warm and well-lit.

Other steps that may help a loved one is to encourage them to seek professional help if needed, and support them by creating a routine, fostering social connection, and preparing for emergencies like power outages.

💙Take care of a friend, a loved one, or yourself. Call, text, or chat with a 988 Lifeline counselor for help during difficult moments anytime, day or night: https://988lifeline.org

At the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, we understand that life’s challenges can sometimes be difficult. Whether you’re facing mental health struggles, emotional distress, alcohol or drug use concerns…

When mental illness is present, the potential for crisis exists, and when a crisis occurs, there isn’t always time to search for answers. If your loved one experiences a mental health crisis, you’ll want to be prepared in advance.

Check out this article from NAMI on What to Do in a Crisis.

Creating a plan with loved ones, caretakers, and doctors, and knowing phone numbers and addresses for local resources and authorities, such as CIT officers and Crisis Centers, can make all the difference!

A crisis might mean getting in trouble with the law or injuring yourself accidentally or on purpose. It’s also a crisis situation if you find yourself developing a plan to take your own life or are considering hurting others.
