Stigma has been around for a long time, and knowing the facts and myths about mental illness can be a great way to help end the stigma.
Mental illness is a very common form of human pain and suffering. Being a good listener and asking how you can help, sometimes just even being there for people you care about, can be the first step in recovery.
Here are a few examples of what to ask:
I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well.
I’ve noticed you’ve seemed down lately.
Is everything OK?
How can I help?
It’s important to get help if you or someone you know is going through a crisis or thinking about suicide. You’re not alone. Learn about the resources available to you.
So important to reach out to those you love, listening, encouraging can make all the difference.❤️
