Why STAY?
STAY is a declaration to yourself, to your loved ones, and to the future. It's seeking help when the weight of the world feels too heavy to bear. It's a reminder that it's okay to ask for support, and that you don't have to face your struggles alone.
Understanding the Challenges
We recognize that adults face a multitude of stressors. Balancing work, family, and personal responsibilities can sometimes lead to feelings of being overwhelmed or despair. Financial pressures, relationship issues, and health concerns can also contribute to feelings of hopelessness.
You Are Not Alone
Remember, you are not alone. Many adults have faced similar struggles and have found ways to cope and thrive – but just like them, you might need help to get there. There are resources and communities available to support you.
Reach Out for Help
If you're feeling hopeless, reach out for help. Start by calling 988. This is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, and they're available 24/7 to provide support. You can also reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional and be honest about how you are feeling: If you’ve thought about suicide, let them know.
Remember: The journey to feeling better begins with deciding to STAY
STAY is a simple, powerful message. It's a request for you to stay with us, to stay in this world, and to stay hopeful in the face of life's challenges. It's a message of resilience, and hope. So, if you're struggling, remember to STAY. Reach out for help. And know that there are people who care about you and want you to stay alive.
