How You Can 'Seize the Awkward'

When someone you’re close to is struggling, as their friend, you’re often the first to notice and also uniquely positioned to reach out and offer support. Created in partnership with JED, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and the Ad Council, Seize the Awkward provides warning signs that a friend is struggling, conversation starters, tips for support, and resources to get help.
