Suicide Prevention Awareness Month is about more than raising awareness. It’s also about what we can do for the people around us. Check in on someone you haven’t heard from lately. Learn the warning signs. Ask the hard question when you’re worried. Listen without judgment. Donate, share resources, or take a suicide prevention training. Small actions can help create a community where asking for support feels a little easier. And remember: you don’t have to wait until someone seems like they’re struggling to check in.

You might think you’re relaxing because you’re lying on the couch scrolling your phone. Meanwhile, your shoulders are tense, your stomach is in knots, and you’ve watched 27 videos about the same stressful topic.
.
Our bodies can react to what we’re consuming online even when we don’t consciously feel “stressed.”
.
That doesn’t mean you need to delete TikTok, stop following the news, or never go down an internet rabbit hole again. It just means it’s worth checking in with yourself every once in a while.
.
Sometimes the tight shoulders, racing heart, or restless feeling are your body’s way of saying, I think we’ve had enough for today. The updates will still be there when you come back.
