September is su***de awareness month. 💚
10th September is "R u ok?" Day.
“Are you okay?”
3 words that could possibly save someone’s life, can make someone feel like they aren’t alone even if they don’t open up to you.
Your family and friends would rather listen to your problems, than be sitting at your funeral listening to your eulogy….
