💜 ASK TWICE

Sometimes when we ask someone how they are, they simply say:

“I’m fine.”

But sometimes “I’m fine” doesn’t mean everything really is fine.

This week, on 10th September – World Su***de Prevention Day, TCD is encouraging everyone to ASK TWICE.

💬 “How are you?”

And if something doesn’t feel quite right…

💬 “Are you really okay?”

Take the time to listen.
Don’t judge.
Don’t try to fix everything.
Just be there.

You never know how much that second question might mean to someone.

Who will you ASK TWICE today? 💜
