During the holiday season, many people struggle with mental health issues, leading to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Several public figures, including Senator Cortez Masto and Senator Lujan, have encouraged individuals to check in with loved ones and seek help from the 988 Lifeline, which provides crisis mental health support 24/7. They emphasize that it's essential not to suffer in silence and that trained counselors are available to listen and connect individuals with resources. The National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) has also provided tips to help those experiencing the holiday blues.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, dial or text 988 to receive help 24/7. Know that you are not alone and there is no shame in sharing how you feel—trained counselors are available to listen and connect you with resources. https://t.co/YFFankg7Qc
Christmas is meant to be a joyful time. But for people struggling with loneliness and isolation, the holiday season can be particularly difficult. In my December @LeftLion column, I wrote about the loneliness crisis and what can be done to address it. https://t.co/JlAV3PJbnP
If you don’t love the holiday season (or vacations, or parties) you may feel a little weird or broken this time of year. At least know that you are not alone, I see you.❤️

988 has already saved countless lives. But more must be done. My 988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act will help improve routing calls to their local call centers to help Americans get help right away. If you or someone you love is struggling, don’t wait, call 988.
For some, the holidays can be a wonderful time to celebrate with loved ones, for others it can bring on feelings of loneliness. If you’re experiencing the holiday blues, check out these tips from the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) https://t.co/6s7zMpimjr https://t.co/mGNi1mTU5e
