Mental Health/Depression PSA

Today marks an anniversary of the loss of someone very important in my life.
As someone affected by suicide, and in a share of good vibes and positive energy on this day, I'd like to share some websites for anyone who might know anyone affected by depression or who has been affected by suicide.

I also recommend emotions anonymous for anyone who needs a support group. It has done wonders for my DH who was diagnosed with depression last year.

I always suggest AFSP (linked).

I have worked with survivors in the past. There are support groups on LI.
FM if I can help at all!Chat Icon
