For Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ve been encouraging people to have a #RealConvo about mental health. To help make it easy, AFSP’s Vice President of Programs, Dr. Doreen Marshall, recorded a series of videos providing guidance on topics including:
- How to broach the subject and start a #RealConvo with someone
- What to say to a person you think may be struggling
- How you can respond to someone who is having suicidal thoughts
- Language you can use to let friends know you’re struggling
- And much more!
Short and easy-to-understand, the videos will give you plenty of down-to-earth, practical tips on how you can have a #RealConvo about mental health with the people in your life.
Don’t’ forget to share on social media — and be sure to tag @afspnational, using the hashtag #RealConvo!
