Violence

You find yourself in a troubling situation when a friend confides their feelings of unhappiness at school and expresses a dangerous thought about violence. It's crucial to recognize the seriousness of such threats and take appropriate action. Instead of dismissing their feelings, guide them towards help by speaking to a trusted adult or mental health professional. Understanding violence in all its forms, learning to manage anger, and promoting kindness can make a significant difference. Remember, help is available through resources like WISE Options (1-800-326-8483) and the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE).
