Su***de Prevention Month may be ending, but these conversations shouldn’t.
Su***de doesn’t always look like an immediate crisis. Someone can still be working, making plans, answering texts, and showing up while privately struggling.
Prevention can start earlier: notice when something has changed, talk about suicidal thoughts directly, knowing who you can reach out to, and have a plan for what to do if things get harder.
You don’t have to wait until things become unbearable to ask for support. And you don’t need to have the perfect words to start the conversation.
If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988.
If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Save this post for yourself or someone you care about.
