💛 World Su***de Prevention Day 💛
Today, we’re reminded that changing the narrative on su***de starts with a conversation.
One common misconception is that asking someone directly about su***de will put the idea in their head.
It won’t. Asking can open the door to honesty, connection, and support.
You don't need the perfect words. You can simply ask:
“How are you really doing?”
“Are you thinking about su***de?”
If the answer is yes, you don't have to figure it out alone.
💛 Know who to call:
Call or text 988 when someone is experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, or a mental health crisis. You can also contact 988 if you're worried about someone else.
Call 911 when there is immediate danger—an attempt is in progress, someone has seriously harmed themselves, or there is an immediate medical emergency.
And if you're the person supporting someone who is suicidal, remember:
Getting someone help isn't “getting them in trouble.”
It's helping keep them alive.
Help connect them to support. 💛
