💙💛 Learn how to recognize the warning signs when someone’s at risk—and what action steps you can take. If you believe someone may be in danger of su***de be sure:

Call 911, if danger for self-harm seems imminent.

Contact 988 to speak with to a crisis counselor and follow their guidance.

Ask them if they are thinking about killing themselves. This will not put the idea into their head or make it more likely that they will attempt su***de.

Listen without judging and show you care.

Stay with the person or make sure the person is in a private, secure place with another caring person until you can get further help.

Remove any objects that could be used in a su***de attempt.

There is help. There is hope. 🌿

But together, we can help change that. 💙

It starts with small actions that make a big difference:

2️⃣ Listen.
3️⃣ Encourage them to seek help.

You never know how much your compassion and presence can mean to someone. 💛
