Mental health homework for your weekend:

Clearer spaces can help your mind feel clear as well.
De-cluttering or tidying up can be a mental health boost.

Bonus points if your de-cluttering leads to donating usable items to local organizations or people who could use them.

Asking for help with your mental health is similar to asking for a flashlight when you’re in the dark. There is no shame in either ask.

You don't have to do this alone. There are tools that can help. Don't let fear needlessly keep you in the dark.

While we are updating much of the interior after flooding this summer, we spruced up our exterior too. See the new look at our 555 N Woodlawn location.

Change the narrative:
• challenge myths (asking about suicide does NOT increase risk)
• reduce stigma (it happens in any economic, gender, race, religious, etc group)
• foster open conversations about it (share your stories, ask ?s, listen well)

AmeriCorps funding is on the chopping block again. We need your voice to ensure these programs are funded!

Together, we can make sure AmeriCorps remains strong for the people and communities who depend on it. Thank you for taking a #Stand4Service.

This month businesses are showing support for suicide prevention by placing flags like this around their property.

Suicide prevention is a communal effort.

Thank you McKay Dentistry in Andover for joining the cause!

If you see flags or signs, snap a photo and tag us!

Every day is a good day to reduce the stigma around mental health.

Some ways to do it: Treat people equally. Ask for help. Don't be afraid to talk about it. Be careful how you speak. Show care for others. Educate yourself on mental health.

We can do this.
