There are ways that you can help to promote awareness and show support for World Mental Health Day: Talk about mental health issues with others, especially children if they are showing signs of depression or anxiety. Attend events in your town by checking your county’s calendar. Donate to mental health organizations or charities that provide support and fund research. Volunteer your time with organizations that provide help to those who are suffering from mental health issues. There sometimes is a stigma or discrimination in communities for individuals who have mental health issues, which causes many individuals not to seek out the help that they may need. There is no need for anyone to go untreated. There are many services available. If you are having thoughts of suicide If you need mental health-related crisis support If you are worried about someone else Please call or text 988 or visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline chat to connect with a trained crisis counselor. #hillsidenj #hillsidepublicschools #worldmentalhealthday #mentalhealth
