#Reach In OC Social Media Challenge

September 4, 2022 @ 8:00 am - September 10, 2022 @ 5:00 pm

Mental Health can be a struggle. Don’t wait for someone to reach out, you can help by reaching in. Take the #ReachInOC challenge during Suicide Prevention Awareness Week (Sept. 4-10) to support your loved ones and help prevent suicide.

Follow NAMI-OC on social media for daily reminders, personal stories, suicide prevention facts, and more.

What does “Reach In” mean? The #ReachInOC challenge is inspired by the story of Kevin Hines, a suicide survivor who shares his personal journey and story with others. During the moments leading up to his attempt, he needed someone to reach in and ask him if he was ok because he was not able to reach out for help at that time. It is hard to know what is going on beneath the surface if we don’t reach in to others and ask how they are really doing and wait for the honest answer.

Learn more about the challenge and download the social media posting kit on our website at namioc.org.
