Make a difference, together

Individuals who have lived through a suicide attempt have taught us much about how the words and actions of others are important. Take a minute to reach out to someone in-need, and it could change the course of their life.

Knowing when a loved one or community member is considering suicide may be difficult since there is no single cause for suicide. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, increase the risk for suicide. Although there may be no single cause, there are warning signs that are important to be aware of.

Warning Signs of Suicide:

• Talk
  • If a person talks about being a burden to others, feeling trapped, experiencing unbearable pain, having no reason to live, killing themselves.
• Behavior
  • Increased use of alcohol or drugs
  • Looking for ways to end their lives
  • Acting recklessly or aggressively
  • Withdrawing from activity
  • Isolating themselves form family and friends
  • Sleeping too much or too little
  • Giving away prized possession

• Mood
  • Depression
  • Loss of interest
  • Rage
  • Irritability
  • Humiliation
  • Anxiety

If you or someone you know has been thinking about committing suicide, you are not alone. Confidential help is available for free, 24 hours a day at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Please call, 1-800-273-8255.
