Did you know?

Many suicidal people give warning signs.

Warning signs include:

  • Talking about suicide
  • Seeking out ways to hurt themselves (guns, knives, pills, etc.)
  • A preoccupation with death and dying
  • No hope for the future
  • Hating themselves
  • Withdrawing from friends and family

What can I try?

  • If someone is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1 or the National Suicide Prevention Line.
  • Take the person seriously. Do not ignore threats of self-harm.
  • If it is safe for you to do so, stay with the person. Listen to them.
  • Be sympathetic and offer hope that things will get better.
