Close to 800,000 people die due to suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds. Sit quietly for 40 seconds...realize that someone in the world lost hope during that time span. Do it again for another 40 seconds....someone else just did as well. Was it someone you know? Someone you love? Do they know you’re there for them? Do they know how you feel about them? Take the next 40 seconds of your day to reach out to someone. Anyone. Just to let them know you care. You never know what’s going on inside someone’s mind. Most people who don’t follow through with suicide say it’s because when they were at their lowest, someone reached out. Whether a loved one, a stranger doing an act of kindness, anything. For a second they had hope. And that’s all it took. You never know who you provide hope for. Treat everyone with kindness and compassion. That alone could save a life ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻 #suicidepreventionday #endmentalhealthstigma #givehope #savealife #youmatter https://www.instagram.com/p/B2O6gLNhSrdlKaZ8wwmw1BZmNHSBAVHZw15Dkc0/?igshid=vqhv1lu8deir
