💜 YOU MATTER 💜 | Suicide Prevention Week Card Hop on Instagram @artsyfaithrae

💜 YOU MATTER 💜
Today I’m participating in the Suicide Prevention Week Card Hop on Instagram. Please join me over there to see all of the hop participates so that they know how valuable this hop is: @artsyfaithrae💜💜💜

You don't have to be a counselor or mental health professional to make a difference in someone's life. Sometimes it begins with something much smaller — noticing someone, checking in, sending a message, listening, or simply reminding another person that they are important. That is one reason handmade cards feel so meaningful to us. A card can say:

I see you.
I'm thinking about you.
I'm glad you're here.
You matter to me.

My card showcases deep, etched embossing on white cardstock. I wanted to keep it simple, yet wanted it to make an artsy statement and a kind, encouraging message.

Throughout this week, we'll share cards, resources, and simple things all of us can learn about supporting one another and preventing suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please reach out for support. In the U.S., call or text 988. If you live outside the U.S., please use your country's crisis or suicide-prevention resources.

Mixed Media Scraps To Beauts 💜 | Suicide Prevention Week IG Hop

Welcome Friends 💜! Today is the first day of Suicide Prevention Week in the United States. A fabulous group of crafty friends is getting together this week to raise awareness about suicide prevention. We know this topic is not as cheerful as most of our regular posts.; however, deaths by suicide are rising…yet preventable.

This week, we aim to help you learn more about the warning signs, how to initiate a genuine conversation with someone, and where to find resources for support.

By creating a culture that’s smart about mental health, advocating for legislative policies that make suicide prevention a priority, and funding innovative research, we can save lives. 💜 Hop with us over on Instagram: @artsyfaithrae. I made a beautiful card front mixed media-style, but with a lot of white space. Watch my process video to see these simple mixed media techniques combined with your scraps to make this beaut!
