Suicide Awareness Materials

Building resilience can be simple — sometimes it starts with a wristband, a stress ball, or even a paddle fan. Here are some of the creative ways KEYS 365 tools help foster connection, offer support, and spread awareness.

🟩 ✨ Our Wristbands: A 4-in-1 Resource!

Our KEYS 365 wristbands are more than just accessories — they’re conversation starters and support tools you can wear every day.

1. Start a Conversation

   1. Give someone a wristband and make a meaningful connection.

2. Crisis Lifeline 988 Info

   1. Find the 988 number raised on the inside of the wristband. Call for yourself, for a friend, or to get advice and local resources.

3. Show You’re a Safe Person

   1. Wearing the wristband signals that you’re someone others can trust and rely on for support.

4. Access the KEYS 365 Website

5. Visit our site for self-care tips, resiliency resources, and opportunities to engage.

   ⭐ Bonus: They glow in the dark!

🟡 🧍 Stress Balls: Firm or Squishy?

1. Everyone has a preference — firm or squishy — but both can help with grounding and calming the mind.

   Try this grounding technique with your KEYS 365 stress ball:

   • When you’re feeling relaxed, squeeze the stress ball and visualize something that brings you calm — the beach, a favorite location, pets, someone who makes you feel safe and seen, or a happy memory.

   • Squeeze the stress ball three times. With each squeeze, conjure a specific image or detail of that memory in your mind.

   • If practiced regularly, simply squeezing the stress ball will eventually bring up those peaceful, calming mental images.

🪭 💬 Paddle Fans: A Simple Conversation Starter

Our KEYS 365 Paddle Fans are a great way to start conversations, make connections, offer resources, and share the mission.

Each fan is printed with the KEYS 365 website and the 988 Lifeline — making it easy to offer support in a meaningful, approachable way.
