TRIGGER WARNING!

Resources linked at the bottom of the post!

With our goals to create an overall sensitive and inclusive environment on gSm, we feel it important to ensure that users have access to needed emotional support and resources regarding mental health and suicide, and know you can share without fear of dismissal.

Though it’s a heavy topic, we find it necessary to provide information and validation for those who may struggle, and for those close to someone in need.

With goSupermodel being a small community, it’s important to care for and protect not only in emergencies, but pro-actively working towards prevention and solutions to foster a supportive space. Therefore this news post is dedicated to provide tools and resources for individuals in need, but also to encourage people to act and provide support.
