💙 When to Call or Text 988

Mental health emergencies aren't always visible—but support is always available.

The 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline connects people in emotional distress with trained crisis counselors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

📞 Call or text 988 if you or someone you know is experiencing:
• Thoughts of su***de or self-harm
• A mental health crisis
• A substance use crisis
• Intense emotional distress or feelings of hopelessness

You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable to reach out. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and support is just a call or text away.

There is hope. There is help. You are not alone. 💙 Find more support here: http://spr.ly/6181BG1CsP

Su***de can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. While there is no single cause, certain factors can increase a person's risk.

Risk factors may include:
• Mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or substance use disorders
• Major life stressors, including financial, legal, relationship, or work-related challenges
• Chronic illness or ongoing physical pain
• Experiences of trauma, abuse, violence, grief, or loss
• Feelings of loneliness, isolation, or lack of support
• Discrimination or social stigma
• A family history of su***de
Having one or more risk factors does not mean someone will attempt su***de. However, recognizing these challenges can help us better support ourselves and others.

A simple conversation, a listening ear, or encouraging someone to seek help can make a meaningful difference.💙

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for confidential support 24/7.

💙 Does Your Child Need a Mental Health Day?

Just like adults, kids can sometimes feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or emotionally drained. A mental health day can provide an opportunity to pause, recharge, and reset.

Signs your child may benefit from a break include:
• Feeling overwhelmed by school or activities
• Increased anxiety, sadness, or irritability
• Stress after a major project, test, or life change
• Difficulty coping with emotional challenges

A mental health day isn't about staying in bed or scrolling on a phone all day. Instead, encourage restorative activities like:
🌳 Spending time outdoors
🚶 Going for a walk or bike ride
🎨 Drawing, crafting, or creating
📚 Reading for enjoyment
🧘 Practicing mindfulness or yoga
🎵 Listening to calming music

Most importantly, keep the conversation open. Checking in with your child about how they're feeling can help build emotional awareness, resilience, and trust.

Meet the Team🙌
Sai Yang, MSN, PMHNP-BC

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a welcoming and supportive environment. My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing mood disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, dementia, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. I believe in partnering with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that support their goals and overall well-being.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and being a father. I'm naturally curious about people and value taking the time to understand each person's unique experiences. When I'm not in the office, you'll often find me building projects, fishing, or enjoying time outdoors. I strive to bring the same patience, curiosity, and genuine care to my practice that I value in my everyday life.
