• Mental Health: Taking Stock of Where You Are
• First: We are not mental health professionals. We recommend you seek the advice of your mental health professional or other qualified provider with any questions regarding your mental health.
• We understand this may be a very sensitive subject, some of these conversations may be triggers for certain people.
• If you are feeling suicidal, thinking of harming yourself, or are concerned that someone you know may be in danger of hurting himself or herself, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) or visit your local emergency room.
