If you're worried about someone, remember that research shows that it is safer to ask about suicide than not to ask about suicide. Asking someone if they’re having suicidal thoughts can protect them. This might be their first step in getting help and hearing that they matter.❤️

A good blog, full of advice. If you are often the friend doing the supporting, it's a good idea to do a course* - it can feel overwhelming sometimes (*there are lots of options. I have one running myself next week online😉)

There are very few people I can talk to about how I am who will do anything other than minimise the difficulties of my experience. It seems to be so rare for people to be able to sit with, be alongside, listen, and accept rather than dismiss. This can be incredibly lonely!

Since the return to full-time classroom teaching, mental health challenges and social skill stagnation have limited many young people's ability to learn. This may be the best way to help them. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/lies-a…

It can be easy to shrug off the question ‘how are you doing?’ - sometimes ‘I’m just tired’ could mean we're struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or having trouble coping. When checking in on someone, ask twice. This can help show you are wanting to know how they really are.❤️
