Social connection is a key ingredient of suicide prevention. But during this difficult time our public health approach is to keep our distance from others and avoid contact. This can easily lead to feelings of isolation and anxiety. Being laid off from work and the financial problems it causes can be very stressful as well.
It all may seem so frightening and hopeless. But we are not alone …. we are not isolated. Churches and other organizations are reaching out to offer help where needed. There is an emergency aid package to alleviate the financial stress with more economic relief plans on the way. Medical professionals are working feverishly to develop a vaccine. There is hope.
Most importantly, Coastal Horizons remains hard at work giving hope and options to those in need of support. If you find yourself unable to control suicidal thoughts please do not hesitate to call for help. Click on the link below for more information.
