Hard Moment Help
Take this one breath, one tap at a time. I'm right here with you.
1. Safety check
First — is anyone in danger right now?
If yes:
Stop here and call 911 (or your local emergency number). For mental-health crisis support in the US, call or text 988.
If everyone is physically safe, take a breath and continue. You're doing the right thing by being here.
Stop it — what's next
You have a way to stop the moment safely. Now let's support the why.
Support it: log the trigger
Find the pattern before it happens again.
Solve it: build a behavior plan
Turn one behavior into one written plan.
