Whether it’s a low point, a crisis, or something you can’t exactly put into words, get help for yourself or a friend.
I’m here for…
Sometimes it may feel like the world isn’t listening and no one understands. But you are not alone. Friends and trained pros can reconnect you with your reasons to keep going, and show you ways to cope with difficult days.
When a friend confides in you, it says a lot. They trust you. So…how do you really show up for that friend? Learn what to say and do, good ways to check on someone, and the warning signs of suicide.
Hear from young people about moments when life was overwhelming, and they felt anxious, or alone. Learn how they coped…and sometimes struggled to cope. And hear from friends who stepped in to help.
Whether it’s a low point, a crisis, or something you can’t exactly put into words, get help for yourself or a friend, call or text 988 to get help, 24/7.
