How to Help with Your Actions, Every Day
- Be a good friend. Thoughtfully engage with those you already know or to whom you are connected. Offer encouragement and check in about how your peers are doing and how you might be able to help when they are struggling.
- Say hello to people. Engage with people you know less well and who may seem less like you on the surface. This creates connections-- one of the most powerful ingredients for good mental health.
- If you are concerned about someone, say something. Simply saying "Are you okay?" or "How are you doing?" is often the most helpful thing anyone can offer.
How Can I Get Involved?
