Navigating the struggle of suicide prevention involves seeking
support from friends, family, and professionals. Finding
helpful tools such as the Embracing Life App (Scan the QR
code in our Ad) or finding other immediate assistance sources
are key to prevention, along with therapy which provides
coping strategies, and staying connected to help combat
isolation. Educate yourself about warning signs, whether it be
for yourself, a loved one, a child in need, create a safety plan,
encourage professional help. Remember, you are NOT alone—
reach out. Prioritize safety, seek help, and work towards a
healthier, more hopeful tomorrow. Embrace life!

“Spring fever” is a term used to describe a feeling of restlessness, excitement, or increased energy that some people experience as Winter transitions into Spring. However not always the case for everyone, for some, it may cause severe anxiety and increased mental health issues that may be exacerbated by seasonal changes or increased social activities. If someone is experiencing distress or impairment due to changes in mood or behavior during the spring season, it’s essential for them to seek professional help. Treatment centers can provide a range of services, support groups, and holistic approaches to address these concerns and promote overall well-being.
