5 ways you can help a person experiencing a mental health crisis

Talking about suicide can help reduce thoughts of suicide and improve mental health overall. Avoiding the topic can lead to misinformation and myths that encourage stigma. These negative and unfair beliefs may cause or worsen the feelings of guilt and shame that often come with a mental health crisis. Stigma can also make it tough to share these thoughts and emotions and may lead to isolation.
If you have a friend or loved one in emotional distress, your compassion and support can make a major difference.
