#ThursdayVibes Fall is a time for reflection. Many religions see this as a time to examine our lifestyle, to re-dedicate ourselves to a path of compassion, faith and understanding. Join us on that path. #Volunteer to help those who need #care and #support. bit.ly/3IyK6HZ
#NationalCoachesDay Coaches shape how we respond to all types of problems and are often the ones we turn to for advice. Parents, bosses, teachers are all coaches in some way and should know how to respond to people struggling with their #MentalHealth See bit.ly/3NozYCL
Samaritans Centers throughout the world utilize active listening and empathetic response. It is a skill that can be learned and mastered with practice. And it DOES help people get through difficult times.
Communities across the country need more volunteers to provide essential services and strengthen the safety net. Volunteering makes you feel good about yourself while you are making an important contribution to society.
Calling all early risers! ☀️ We added a new Meal Packaging shift Monday - Friday from 6:30 AM - 8:30 AM. You’ll work closely with our staff & volunteers to ensure every medically tailored meal is sorted & packed correctly for the our clients. Sign up 📲 glwd.org/volunteer!
This is especially true for homeless students in the NYC school system. Thanks @chrisquinn and @ebottcher for focusing on an often overlooked and underserved high-risk population.
Please read! It is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT that homeless families get more mental health support/services!This is how we break the cycle of homelessness! @WINNYC_ORG @ebottcher

A valuable resource to share and to utilize as a component of an individual's safety plan.
About 12.2 million of U.S. adults have thoughts of suicide. NAMI-NYC offers a support group to talk about what it’s like to have these thoughts and manage them. Share this to end the stigma and provide support: ow.ly/9x9U50KtXbV #JustAsk #SuicidePreventionWeek

#SuicidePreventionDay There's a major increase in the number of people in need of emotional support and a major decrease in the number of people to help them. A Call Can Save A Life, but only if someone is there to answer that call. #Volunteer #Healthcare bit.ly/32b26Y5
#startrekday Great #mentalhealth mantra from early Star Trek episode: "Just because we don't understand someone, it doesn't make them wrong!" that all #healthcare and #suicideprevention staff should remember. Become a hotline #volunteer and open your mind. bit.ly/3IyK6HZ

Spread the word! If we are going to provide alternatives to 988 and #preventsuicide more #volunteers are needed for #suicideprevention hotlines. Talk is cheap, listening priceless. #stopsuicide #Tuesdayvibe @SaltySicky @nonprofitorgs @theADHDacademic

#BobCostas Thinking his detailed anecdote about #suicide was amusing when it is the leading preventable cause of death of the majority of the audience watching the #SubwaySeries shows a real lack of awareness. #MentalHealthMatters
Confidentiality matters! But one size does not fit all. Not 988, not @Samaritans #PreventingSuicide takes a #community. The more choices people have, the more likely they will seek #help. Developing a safety plan is a good place to start. bit.ly/3kQsVqe #mentalhealth
