Suicide can affect any person, family, or community. It can be hard to talk about. Still, talking about suicide can help save lives.

A person in pain may feel alone or believe that things will never get better. Yet help is available. Support can make a real difference.

Suicide is preventable. Hope is real.

Know the Warning Signs

Warning signs are not the same for everyone. However, some changes may show that a person needs help.

They may talk about wanting to die. They may feel hopeless or trapped. & They may pull away from family and friends. You may also notice changes in sleep, mood, or behavior.

Some people may give away things they care about or say goodbye.

Take these signs seriously.

Start the Conversation

You do not need perfect words to help someone.

Ask how they are feeling. Listen without judgment. Let them know that you care.

It is okay to ask about suicide. A caring question can open the door to an honest talk.

Do not try to fix everything on your own. Instead, help the person connect with support.

Stay Connected

Support should not end after one talk.

Check in again. Send a message. Make a call. Sit with them. Remind them that they matter.

Small acts of care can have a big impact.

Help Is Available

If someone is in danger, act right away. Help them reach crisis or emergency support.

If there is no immediate danger, you can still help them find a doctor, counselor, support group, or other trusted source of care.

No one should have to face a suicide crisis alone.

Listen. Reach out. Stay connected. Keep hope alive.

Together, we can help save lives.
