Samaritans UK Charity on How to Help

A charity by the name of Samaritans from the UK has put together a ton of resources, one of which caught my eye because it’s a question we hear quite often:

What to do if you think someone isn’t OK

Not only do they have a section on what do do if you’re worried about someone during this pandemic, but also what to do if you’re concerned about suicide, self-harm, mental health in general, etc.

Even though some of their information is UK-based, you’ll need to replace emergency contact information for your medical emergencies and helplines in place of the UK numbers, most of it is consistent to what we can be doing for the people we are concerned about.

I encourage you to take a look, and keep it handy.

    It’s all forward-looking. It celebrates how far I’ve come without constantly constantly reminding myself of what I haven’t done. In Todd’s words, it allows me to simply be human, like every other adult. In the end, isn’t that what we all want, to not see ourselves as the freak abuse survivor, but as an adult like other adults? With strengths and weaknesses, with quirks, and with success alongside failures?

    We need to let ourselves be human and create a life where we can feel safe to be human.
