In moments of crisis, people often display warning signs before attempting suicide. Recognizing these signs is crucial for providing needed support.
Most people who attempt suicide do not want to die, but they are looking for a way out of the pain they are suffering from physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.
By learning to identify the warning signs, you will be better prepared to help someone in need. Watch the video below, Recognizing and Responding to the Warning Signs of Suicide, to learn about the behaviors that could be warning signs.
