Facing Suicide

Understanding Suicide: Seeing the Signs

4m 03s

Suicide prevention experts agree that you don’t need to be a doctor or trained professional to recognize the signs of suicide in friends or loved ones. Hopelessness, lack of purpose, or an increased sense of causing burden are important signs to watch. And, if someone is considering suicide or in crisis, never leave them alone.
