What will you do when your friend needs help?

Will you know what to say and how to respond?

Gather your friends for this one-hour national dialogue to talk about the importance of taking care of your mental health -- and how to help a friend in need -- all through text-based dialogue!

Help us Win Money for the Psych Central Community Connection

On Monday, Oct. 6, there will be an all-day contest where both our non-profit organization (the Psych Central Community Connection) and anyone who participates in this event using our code can win money (sorry, U.S. residents only). (5 individuals will be drawn at random by the event organizers to win $200.)

How to Participate

1. On your mobile or smartphone on Monday, text "start" to 89800.

2. When it asks, "If you have a unique code from your organizer, enter it now. If not, enter SKIP”, enter the code: 314TTA

3. Participate in the discussion and polling questions by contributing to the Talk, Text, Act thread that will be posted on Monday to this forum (Other Mental Health Discussion).

We're looking forward to sharing in the discussion and conversation with you about mental health.

Best,
DocJohn

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
