Some conversations feel difficult tostart because we're afraid we'll say the wrong thing. So we say nothing.
Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we're reminded of the importance of making space for honest conversations.
Check in. Listen without immediately trying to fix. Take changes in someones behaviour seriously. And when someone tells you they're struggling, believe them.
You don't need to be a counsellor to care about someone. Professional support matters, but so does knowing that another human being has noticed you and is willing to stay in the conversation.
And if you are the person struggling today, please tell someone. You deserve support beyond carrying it quietly.
