View submission: Tuesday Check In: How's Everybody's Mental Health?
If you are in crisis, are considering hurting yourself or someone else, or feel like you can't go on, we advise you to contact your local emergency services, go to the nearest emergency room, or mental health crisis evaluation centre[1]. If that seems too scary or difficult right now, please consider calling a suicide hotline[2] for support. You matter and should get the help you deserve.

For help developing a safety plan, please consult this PDF.[3] Therapy can also be a good support resource. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be struggling to seek out therapy! We all need a supportive ear sometimes! If you are considering therapy but don't know where to start, we recommend taking a look at Psychology Today[4], International Therapist Directory[5], or OpenCounseling[6] for a provider in your country or, if in the US, contacting your nearest branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness[7] Buzzfeed has also published an informative article[8] about what happens when you call a suicide hotline, for those who might feel hesitant. You matter and your life is absolutely worth it. Be kind to yourself.
