Take a moment to notice something you love about yourself. It doesn’t have to be everything. Maybe it’s your hair, your laugh, your resilience, or your outfit.

You deserve self-love.

What happens after someone says, "I'm not okay"? It takes courage to share difficult feelings. How we respond can make a difference.

Instead of immediately trying to fix things, try these steps:

1. Listen. Give them space to share without judgment.
2. Acknowledge. "That sounds really difficult. Thank you for telling me."
3. Ask. If you're concerned about su***de, it's okay to ask directly: "Are you thinking about su***de?"
4. Support safety. If su***de risk is present, help reduce access to fi****ms, medications, and other potentially lethal means.
5. Connect. Help them reach appropriate support and follow up.

You don't have to be a mental health professional to start a potentially lifesaving conversation. Ask. Listen. Support. Connect.

If you or someone you know needs immediate emotional or crisis support, call or text 988. Learn more at lockandtalk.org.

LOCK: Means safety is the most effective method of preventing su***des from occurring. It is about limiting access to lethal means for a person during a time of crisis.
TALK: Talking about the problem of su***de can save lives, reduce stigma and encourage help-seeking behaviors. Talking also helps the healing process for survivors.
Help prevent su***de in our veteran community. ***deprevention
