Mental Health First Aid
What comes to my mind for mental health first aid as a mental health counselor- is the following:
*If you are suicidal: Tell someone who you trust/ who can get you immediate help to ensure your safety OR call 911 OR go to your nearest Emergency Room at a hospital and tell them that you are suicidal.
*Take slow deep breaths.
*Demonstrate positive self-talk. Tell yourself that you are going to be 'okay' over and over again.
*Seek support. Reach out to someone who can help you get the professional help that you need.
*Have Hope that things can and will get better.
*Remember that emotional pain is only temporary and that you can feel better soon.
*Pray! God loves you and cares for you deeply!
*Seek counseling and join a support group
*Remember that your life matters and that your worthy and valuable!
Be a HOPE CHANGER in your own life and in the lives of others!
Demonstrate self-care and optimism to facilitate healing and encourage others!
