Mental Health Resources

Challenges and struggles with mental health affect most every family. Yet a stigma lingers around talking about mental health. In our families. In our friend groups. In the church.

So, we’re going to talk about it. With love. With an eye on resources God has given us to seek help. With compassion.

Come as you are, invite your friends and loved ones, and let’s have some honest discussion in church about mental health.

There is a path forward. There is healing. There is hope.

Suicide Prevention: What To Do

What To Do if someone is displaying signs

Take it SERIOUSLY!
Ask the question, “Are you thinking about suicide?” This will show the person you are concerned about them, and will open communication, allowing the person to express their thoughts freely.
Listen intently and persuade them to get help. If able, guide them to a local resource such as this webpage.

Warning Signs of Suicide

Talking about wanting to die or kill oneself.
Sudden change in behavior; happier or calmer.
Suicide threats or previous suicide attempts.
Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live.
Loss of interest in things one cares about.
Talking about being trapped or in unbearable pain.
Giving things away, such as prized possessions.
Purchasing a gun or stockpiling pills.
Talking about being a burden to others.
Increasing the use of drugs or alcohol.
Withdrawn or feeling isolated.
Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly.
Sleeping too little or too much.
Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge.
Making arrangements; setting one’s affairs in order.

Things To Know

A suicidal person may not ask for help, but that doesn’t mean help isn’t wanted.

People who take their lives don’t want to die – they want to stop hurting.
Suicide prevention starts with recognizing the warning signs and taking them seriously.
If you think a friend or family member is considering suicide, you might be afraid to bring up the subject, but talking openly about suicidal thoughts can save a life.
