Help Prevent Suicide

January 30, 2023

Suicide effects people of all ages and doesn’t always mean someone is mentally ill.

Look for warning signs. People who consider suicide as an option often talk about feeling hopeless or lost. Sometimes they try to organize their life as if they are creating a will by giving others their belongings or saying goodbye. They can experience strong self-hatred and be withdrawn from social interactions.

If you know someone displaying more than one of these signs, take the time to help. Sit down and talk to them about what’s going on. Advocate for professional help if needed.
