Crisis Support and Treatment: You Could Save a Life

At T.A.C.T., we understand the importance of supporting those in crisis. As part of our commitment to helping individuals and families during challenging times, we stand alongside the community in raising awareness during Suicide Prevention Month. By providing support and recognizing the warning signs, we can all make a difference.

Warning Signs of Suicide:

It is important to be aware of common warning signs, which include talking about feeling hopeless, withdrawing from loved ones, or experiencing drastic mood changes. These signs are cries for help, and timely intervention could save a life.

Crisis Support Available:

If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available 24/7. You can call or text the 988 Lifeline (988 or 988lifeline.org) for immediate support. You are not alone, and recovery is possible.

Building a Strong Support System:

Creating a network of support is crucial for those at risk. Whether through family, friends, or professionals, having a reliable support system can make all the difference. In times of crisis, knowing that someone is available to listen without judgment or offering a helping hand can provide a sense of safety. Encourage those you know to reach out and be proactive in checking on others. Together, we can foster an environment where mental health struggles are met with compassion and resources, not stigma.

The Role of Communities in Mental Health:

Strong and supportive environments can significantly reduce the risk of mental health crises. Simply being there to listen can have a profound impact. Whether you are a family member, peer, educator, or community member, your support matters. Together, we can help each other through the most challenging times.

T.A.C.T. is proud to support suicide prevention efforts and encourages everyone to take part in creating a caring, supportive environment for those in need. Learn more about how you can help at SAMHSA’s website.
