Signs of Suicide 01

If someone you know might be thinking about suicide, talking with them about it can make a big difference. It might be hard to start the conversation, but you could start by saying, "I'm worried about you." To learn about warning signs of suicide and how to help someone who’s struggling, visit NativeAndStrong.org.
Signs of Suicide 02

When we know the signs of suicide, we can help our family and friends get the support they need. If someone is talking, joking or researching about dying; feeling hopeless, depressed or anxious; or isolating themselves, talk with them about it. Learn more at NativeAndStrong.org.
Signs of Suicide 03

Someone who’s thinking about suicide might seem hopeless or moody. Maybe they’re avoiding doing things they enjoy, or avoiding people. Maybe they’re sleeping a lot, or very little. They might talk about hurting themselves or dying. When we can recognize the signs, we can help. Learn more at NativeAndStrong.org.
