Today is Trevor Day (named for the Trevor Project), the Friday of Suicide Prevention Week, and a great time to remind ourselves that it is quite likely that someone near us is hiding pain we cannot imagine. A young person is living in fear, feeling alone, and without options. It is so easy to just invite someone to talk…to be heard, to assure them that you are there for them and will listen. Giving another individual the confidence to feel safe enough to share is a much more valuable gift than you imagine. It can be the difference, the deciding factor, in a life.
Just reach out.
Just say, “Talk to me”
