 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Tyrell Morris. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and the Navy wants you to be vigilant when dealing with your shipmates. You could be the person a shipmate needs to talk to when they're having a rough time. If you believe that someone is struggling, that it appears that they're having a difficult time, go up to them, talk to them, be bold, ask them, is there something on your mind, is there something bothering you, is there something I can do for you? You'd be surprised, often times people will open up to you if you just approach them and let them know that, hey I've recognized that you seem a little different today or this week. Is there something you'd like to talk about? It could make all the difference in the world. Visit Navy Personnel Command's website for tips on how you can help a struggling shipmate.
