As we close the doors of November and open ourselves up for all that December and the new year brings, we want to take a moment to re-share and recognize this important data point from @healthymindsnetwork's recent study.⠀
⠀
Suicidal ideation among Native American college students has been increasing and there are many barriers preventing access to healthcare in indigenous communities. ⠀
⠀
Let's stand up for and support our Native and indigenous neighbors in South Dakota. As the legislative session draws near, we urge you to help us prioritize mental healthcare, especially for indigenous communities, in our state.⠀
⠀
Let's flip the script and change these statistics!

Happy Thursday! ⠀
Can you believe it's December already? We can't either. 😓⠀
⠀
We know that this time of year can be really tough on people for a variety of reasons. The holiday season is filled with so many emotions, and sometimes it's just too much. We want to take a moment to celebrate you and all that you're doing to take care of yourselves and others this month.⠀
⠀
Keep going. You've got this! Hang in there and remember to ask for help when needed. We love you. Keep going. 💪

WE DID IT!⠀
⠀
We hit our goal of 100 donations on #GivingTuesday! Meeting this goal gets us that much closer to a world without suicide, because you've all committed to support mental health advocacy in our communities.⠀
⠀
Today isn't about money, though, it's about reaching the most people so that we can continue to build resilient communities of support #ForSouthDakota. We did it. Because of you!⠀
⠀
THANK YOU!⠀
⠀
AND...we still have a couple more hours to donate, so share with your friends and family. Maybe support a campus organization?! No pressure.

Acceptance is prevention.⠀
⠀
Today, we recognize #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance to honor transgender and gender non-conforming people who have lost their lives to anti-trans violence and suicide.⠀
⠀
When we as a culture, human beings, and a society learn to accept those who are different from us, and celebrate them rather than fear and hate them, we prevent the risk of harm.⠀
⠀
We stand alongside our transgender and gender non-conforming neighbors and family members. We stand in solidarity, hope, and love. We honor their fight. We celebrate their spirit. We remember the lost.⠀
⠀
Join us in honoring those lost to suicide and/or violence today. Remember their names.⠀
⠀
If you or someone you love are in crisis, check out the list of resources linked in our bio.

Today, we round out our four week guide to meaningful conversations using the EARS Framework. ⠀
⠀
When helping someone in a crisis, using the EARS Framework can help guide you through a conversation with them in a way that is thoughtful and welcoming rather than intrusive.⠀
⠀
Simply remember: Engage. Attend. Reinforce. Seek.⠀
⠀
Wrapping things up by seeking resources for support or referral (if wanted) can help those in crisis feel less alone. It is important never to force someone in crisis to seek help if they don't want it. Doing so, breaks their trust and will make them hesitant about engaging with you if ever in a crisis in the future. Seeking help together shows that you're committed to helping them and that your words aren't empty, but hold action and meaning. Providing resources and support to someone in crisis and empowering them to make the decision that is best for them will result in the best outcome.⠀

Our name comes from the sentiment that the space between feeling lost or hopeless, and feeling a sense of belonging through community are closer than we often think.⠀
⠀
This is why we celebrate #TransgenderAwarenessWeek! We believe that all people belong and finding community is so much more beautiful than those moments of feeling lost and hopeless. The Trans community is rich and vibrant and special. Let's make all of our Trans friends and family feel seen this week...and then never stop, because awareness isn't enough.⠀
⠀
If you or someone you love is in crisis, you can find LGBTQ+ mental health resources by following the link in our bio.
