Sometimes, the most important thing we can do is simply connect someone to help.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you don't have to know exactly what to say or where to turn. There are people ready to listen and help.

📞 Call or text 988 — The Su***de & Crisis Lifeline provides free, confidential support for anyone experiencing a mental health crisis, emotional distress, or thoughts of su***de.

📞 Call 2-1-1 — United Way 2-1-1 connects individuals and families with local resources that can address many of the challenges that can contribute to a crisis, including food, housing, utilities, healthcare, counseling, transportation, and other community support.

988 helps during a crisis.
2-1-1 helps connect you to resources before, during, and after a crisis.

You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to make the connection.

If you are concerned about someone, reach out. Ask how they're doing. Listen without judgment. And help them connect with support.
