The most important thing you can do to protect hearts (and save lives) is to learn CPR and how to use a defibrillator.

How do you support someone with a mental health condition?
Be open-minded - asking if they want someone to just listen, or to offer them solutions can be helpful. Sometimes they just want someone to listen, rather than offer advice.
