We are living through difficult times. With work hard to find for many, financial pressure, and an increase in depression, it’s more important than ever for people who are in need to reach out and get the help they deserve.
At UMP, we believe that mental health is extremely important, and we want to spread awareness about resources that those in need can take advantage of today.
It takes great bravery to reach out for help. Know that if you are in need, you are doing the right thing by getting the support you deserve.
Suicide Prevention Resources
988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
988 is a free resource that anyone can call at any time if they feel extremely lonely, depressed, and/or suicidal. There is no judgment, and the team that responds to calls is expertly trained to handle crises. There is no shame attached to giving this number a call if you are in need.
Your Local Hospital
If you are feeling hopeless, like you have nothing left to live for, and/or you are actively making plans to self-harm, visit your local hospital. Many hospitals offer inpatient psychiatric services where you can get the help you need. Even if they don’t, they will help to ensure you are able to get to a nearby hospital that offers these services.
Your Mental Health Provider
If you aren’t sure who to trust or turn to and you are currently seeing a social worker or therapist, consider reaching out to them for support. They will help you to navigate the crisis and provide you with support options.
The most important thing is that you take action and get the help you need as soon as possible. You are worthy of the support, and you are truly brave for seeking out the help you need.
