  • Thank you @connorjryan for spreading your light! Please read to find out why suicide prevention month is so important to Connor! . . . The month of September typically coincides with students heading back to school, the start of football season, and the transition from summer to fall. For me, September has a greater meaning – Suicide Prevention Month. This month is important to me because it’s something that hits close to home. 8 years ago, I tragically lost my beloved Uncle George when he decided to take his own life. My uncle’s death was a complete and utter shock and it is something I will forever struggle to understand. I often ask myself whether anything could have been done to deter his actions. Through the confusion and pain I struggled with in the months (and years) following George’s death, I have been able to find solace in my involvement with Into The Light. I have come to realize my own vulnerability and understand the importance of keeping an open line of communication when it comes to mental health related issues. Throughout the years I believe the national dialogue around mental health issues has improved, but there is still more to be done. That’s why I have been compelled to work in such a capacity with Into The Light in order to promote awareness around mental health issues facing teens and young adults. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for Americans aged 15-29 – this is a staggering statistic that needs to be discussed to find a solution. It is okay not to be okay – we as a society still have significant progress to make but my hope is that through Into The Light and organizations just like it, we can continue to foster a national conversation in order subdue this national epidemic. #thankyou #shareyourstory #understand #mentalhealthawareness
  • On September 10th we recognize World Suicide Prevention Day 💚 Into the Light wants to show our commitment to preventing suicide by continuing to raise awareness to mental health illnesses and ridding the stigma by giving a platform to those who want to share their own story with all of us. . . . Starting today and continuing throughout this month we will share the words of our very own Into the Light supporters as they reply to ➡️ Why Suicide Prevention Month is important to me? Thank you @ryankreutzberg for sharing. . . . ”Suicide prevention month is important to me because it puts a spotlight on mental health and the need to have open and honest communication about suicide. Mental illness can make a person feel very isolated and by talking about suicide & mental health, people like myself are able to feel heard, understood, and are able to find help. I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder I and because of Into the Light, I was able to find resources that have helped me to bounce back and live a happy life. 1 in 5 people struggle with mental illness and it shouldn’t be something we run from - but something we run for together.” . . . #suicidepreventionmonthisimportsnttome #september #platform #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth

  • Talking to kids 🧒 about mental illness is hard—so hard that many of us put it off indefinitely, not wanting to expose them when they’re so innocent. Rather than keeping kids in the dark, it’s essential to learn how to talk about mental health with them to help them feel comfortable talking about their own worries and end 🚫 the stigma before it begins. At a panel we learned that as a parent 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 having “deep/open/honest discussion” with your child about topics such as relationships, family, etc. from a young age can also lead them to feel comfortable confiding in you when experiencing uncomfortable/negative/sad thoughts 💭 and feelings. Here are some tips on how to talk about mental health/mental illness with your child. Parents should be aware of their child's needs, concerns, knowledge, and experience with mental health & illnesses. When talking about mental illnesses, parents should: * communicate in a straightforward manner * communicate at a level that is appropriate to a child's age and development level * have the discussion when the child feels safe and comfortable * watch their child's reaction during the discussion * slow down or back up if the child becomes confused or looks upset — The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry AND Today’s Parent —
