Knowing the warning signs of suicide is so important. Educating yourself can not just help yourself but others around you! Some warning signs may help you determine if a loved one is at risk for suicide, especially if the behavior is new, has increased, or seems related to a painful event, loss or change. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these, seek help by calling the Lifeline, 988.
