SUICIDE PREVENTION
BRAIN/MENTAL HEALTH
BRAIN/MENTAL HEALTH
- There is no single cause for suicide
- Anyone can learn the risk factors and warning signs of mental/brain distress and suicide
- Ask the right questions, offer support, and refer to appropriate professional help
- If you notice someone displaying signs of mental distress or warning signs of suicide - start a conversation
- Don't be afraid to ask the question, "Are you thinking about suicide?"
- If the answer is "yes," contact the Crisis &Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 to receive guidance and direct assistance
BRAIN/MENTAL HEALTH
BRAIN/MENTAL HEALTH
BRAIN/MENTAL HEALTH
- Your brain can be exercised to optimize performance just like we exercise our muscles
- Our brains can get better regardless of age
- A Brain/Mental health condition is a physical condition just as diabetes or heart conditions are physical conditions
- The brain AFFECTS and is AFFECTED by the chemistry in our body
- Diet, sleep, exercise, stress due to life situations, age, genetics or brain development are just a few factors impacting the brain
- Talk about your brain/mental health like you would any other condition, ache or pain in your body
