The Let’s Talk Colorado/Hablemos Colorado campaign stresses there is no right or wrong words to use when talking to someone struggling with mental illness. Instead, the campaign emphasizes to be “present” when talking with someone with mental illness and to consider offering tangible, specific help. For example, instead of asking, “What can I do to help?” say, “I’d like to bring you dinner tonight. I will drop it off at 5 pm. Will you be home then?” Please join our our grassroots effort to engage in a conversation around mental health through Let’s Talk Colorado or Hablemos Colorado (coming soon). We have created tools to help spread the word. Please use your communication channels and select what works for your audience.
