We need friends, peers, families, and strong and collective community ties to build and maintain our mental health. Community cohesion offers people a sense of hope, belonging, meaning, and purpose, all of which help prevent suicide and amplify resilience. https://t.co/dv4x1Z43Mc

We need to build skills that empower us to face adversity, not shy away from it. We also need to learn how to hold space for each other and how to skillfully respond and support each other in times of crisis. https://t.co/dv4x1Z43Mc
