National Suicide Prevention Month
How to Help: Take your loved one seriously. If your child, friend, or family member confides thoughts of suicide, believe them and get help. Listen with empathy and provide support. Minimizing what your child or friend is going through can increase his or her sense of hopelessness. Don't keep suicide a secret: If your child knows someone is considering suicide, they can't promise to keep it a secret. They should offer to help, but they need to involve other people, like a trusted adult. No one should have to face this alone.
Know the Risk Factors:
- Mental health disorders
- Alcohol or substance use disorders
- Hopelessness
- Impulsive/aggressive tendancies
- History of trauma/abuse
- Major illness
- Previous suicide attempts
- Family history of suicide
- Job or financial loss
- Loss of relationship(s)
- Easy access to lethal means
- Local clusters of suicide
- Lack of social support or sense of isolation
- Stigma associated with asking for help
- Lack of mental health care/treatment
- Exposure to others who have died by suicide (real life or via media or internet)
