Check in on your friends this week. You never know who is struggling.
This article by mentalhealthfirstaid.com teaches you how to recognize the signs of someone who may be suicidal and how to approach the subject https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/2018/12/how-to-help-someone-who-is-suicidal/
I hope we can do our part to reduce this leading cause of death in the United States.
We understand the stress that can come from starting a business, starting over, and managing the mental health challenges that can result in these areas.
