when someone is drowning, that is not the time to teach them how to swim

this is not the time to yell at them for stepping in the water

because in that moment they don’t need lessons, they need help.

they need you to reach out your hand and help them
they need to know someone sees them
that someone cares enough to pull them out first

you can talk about how to stay afloat and swim another time

but in the middle of the storm? what they need most is compassion, not correction.

all they need is someone who refuses to let them sink. be that someone.

This International Survivors of Su***de Loss Day, we stand with the millions who carry the weight of losing someone to su***de.

The statistics are sobering: Adult survivors of su***de loss are 64% more likely to consider su***de and 80% more likely to quit their jobs or drop out of school compared to those who’ve experienced other sudden losses. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Postvention IS prevention. When we support survivors with understanding, connection, and resources, we break the cycle of isolation and despair.

The Alliance of Hope’s online community forum is here 24/7—a safe space run by su***de loss survivors who truly understand what you’re going through. You don’t have to navigate this grief alone.

👉 Find support at allianceofhope.org

Whether you’re newly bereaved or years into your healing journey, connection and understanding can make all the difference.

You are not alone.
Your grief matters.
Hope is possible.

This Men’s Health Month, let’s remind every man reading this:

🧠 It’s okay to talk about your mental health.
💬 It’s okay to ask for help.
❤️ It’s okay to not be okay.

84 men a week die by su***de.
That’s 84 too many.

Because somewhere along the way, society told men that being strong means being silent.

But the strongest thing you can do is open up.

Speak up. Check in. Listen. Be kind.

This month — and every month — let’s change what it means to be a man.
