As your friendly neighborhood blog’s Mental Health nut, I’m asking you to pause and think about these points:
Signs a loved one is in crisis:

– Changes in mood/behavior
– Hopelessness
– Sleeping too much/too little
– Withdrawing/Isolation

– Increased alcohol/drug use

Stigma and taboo often prevents communities talking openly about mental health problems. #WorldMentalHealthDay is a reminder that we must make it OK #ForEveryChild and young person to talk about mental health. https://t.co/5jUUNYU2U4
