We've all done it…not been honest with ourselves or others. On #NationalHonestyDay be true to yourself and be honest. You're worth the risk.

Every year, one in four Americans will suffer from a mental illness. If you've felt sad for more than two weeks, had changes in your sleeping or eating patterns, or have stopped caring, talk to your counselor or doctor immediately. #EndTheStigma #MentalHealth
If someone you know is expressing suicidal thoughts, ACT. Acknowledge the person's pain, don't minimize it. Express care and concern. Go with them to a counselor or call 911. #TalkListenAct
Do you feel like the only person who will listen to you is…you? Find a safe place to talk and be a safe listener for someone else at ok2talk.org.

Suicide ranks as the 2nd leading cause of death for 15 to 34-year-olds. If someone you know has expressed suicidal thoughts, take them seriously and talk to a trusted counselor, teacher, coach, or other adult. Or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255
We all need someone who hears us. If a friend is struggling, LISTEN. Invite them to share their feelings. Take time to let them express themselves. Don't be shocked. #TalkListenAct
