Suicide Warning Signs

If you think that you or another person is at risk for suicide, call 911 immediately.

Suicide is complicated and tragic, but it is often preventable. Knowing the warning signs for suicide and how to get help can help save lives. 

Recognizing that someone may be considering suicide can be uniquely challenging. Some people will display external signs that they’re at risk or will be vocal about their considerations. Others make an effort to conceal their suicidal ideation and hide their intentions from others.

If you think someone is suicidal, do not leave them alone. Encourage them to seek immediate help from their doctor or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. If they will not seek help, call 911.
