Breaking the Silence Starts with a Simple Conversation<\/h2>\n

As anxiety, depression, emotional distress, and overdose deaths continue to rise, it\u2019s critical for people to have access to support during a crisis.<\/p>\n

Who is Impacted by Suicide?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Mental health struggles and thoughts of suicide impact people of every age group, culture, and identity.<\/b><\/p>\n

Our views and feelings about mental health and suicide differ by culture and identity, in addition to our personal beliefs and experiences. Each culture or community has its own history and norms about how to seek support and help for mental health issues, including suicidal thoughts and behaviors.<\/p>\n

When it comes to suicide prevention and mental health support, one size does not fit all.<\/p>\n

To prevent suicide and promote mental wellness for all, we must learn to incorporate cultural differences into the support we provide.<\/p>\n
