People out there, whatever number you’re thinking about calling—JUST CALL I know some of you worry about the 988 process and what it entails, which is exactly why I put that FAQ link here. So please, my friends and community, take advantage of the help that exists. If you decide not to call, try writing about it. Write a blog post about your experience, and let your story be heard. I'll even put it on our home page. We're in this together.
YOUR VOICE MATTERS!
