Today, we are sending love to those struggling with their mental health, those who have lost someone to suicide, those struggling with thoughts of self-harm, and those feeling hopeless and isolated. You are not alone.
This month’s edition is themed is Be Kind. September is suicide awareness month and today is #SuicidePreventionDay. We all know someone or have lost a loved one to suicide. This month on the trails, we encourage you to create safe spaces for your fellow drifters to have open conversations and share their stories.
Here are a couple of Instagram accounts that will help you with resources and information on mental health:
