Be there for each other

We each play an important role in the health and safety of those around us, and not just during crises. The number one barrier to people seeking treatment for their mental health is the stigma associated with it. The best way to break down this barrier is to talk about it. Ask someone how they’re feeling, tell them you’re concerned, ask if they need help, and listen to how you can be there for them. And remember to ask for help yourself when you need it.
