Mental Health Matters:

Breaking the Silence

If today’s conversation made you pause — even for a second — take that as a sign to check in with yourself or someone you are worried about.

And if you realize you need more support, know that there’s help out there.

You can start by visiting nami.org, helensproject.org/, mentalhealth.gov to find resources, learn more, or even take the first step toward talking with someone. And remember — if you're ever feeling overwhelmed or in crisis, you can call or text 988 anytime for free, confidential support through the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Taking care of your mental health isn’t a weakness. It’s one of the strongest, most important things you can do for yourself — and for the people who love you.
