Read this before you scroll-it might save a life🖤

Sometimes the loudest cry for help is the one you can’t hear.

Here’s how to support someone who may be struggling ⬇️

✅ Listen without judgment — silence can heal.
✅ Check in often — even a simple “thinking of you” can remind them they matter.
✅ Offer resources — share 988, therapy links, or support groups.
✅ Stay present — don’t underestimate the power of just being there.

You never know — your call, your text, your presence could be the lifeline someone is holding on for.

📞 If you or someone you know needs help, dial 988 — available 24/7.

Let’s break the stigma. Let’s save lives. 🖤

Healthcare workers are losing jobs and risking their licenses just for likes. 📱💔

A group was placed on administrative leave after posting a video at work that mocked patients who left bodily fluids on exam tables.

This isn’t “just a joke” or “harmless content.” Every post has consequences. When patient privacy and professionalism are compromised, so is your livelihood.

➡️ Protect your license. Protect your paycheck. Protect your legacy. Don’t throw it all away for social media clout.

Justice Served🙌🏾
