On the track and in life, nobody should have to go it alone.
At Transition Autosport, we know some of the toughest battles happen off the racetrack. Mental health struggles, depression, and thoughts of suicide affect so many of our families, friends, and fans. If you or someone you love is going through a dark time, please know that your story isn’t over, and there is support available right now.
We proudly support the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and the #BeThe1To campaign to provide immediate, life-saving resources. You don’t have to carry this weight by yourself. Explore the resources below to find immediate help or learn how you can be someone else’s lifeline.
#BeThe1To Ask
Ask the tough question. When somebody you know is in emotional pain, ask them directly: “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” #BeThe1To
#BeThe1To Be There
If your friend is thinking about suicide, listen to their reasons for feeling hopeless and in pain. Listen with compassion and empathy, and without dismissing or judging. #BeThe1To
#BeThe1To Keep Them Safe
Is your friend thinking about suicide? Ask if they’ve thought about how they would do it and separate them from anything they could use to hurt themselves. #BeThe1To
#BeThe1To Help Them Connect
Help your friend connect to a support system, whether it’s the 988 Lifeline, family, friends, clergy, coaches, co-workers or therapists, so they have a network to reach out to for help. #BeThe1To
#BeThe1To Follow Up
Check in with the person you care about on a regular basis. Making contact with a friend in the days and weeks after a crisis can make a difference in keeping them alive. #BeThe1To
