Understanding Suicide Warning Signs

Recognizing the warning signs of suicide is crucial for early intervention. Here are some common indicators that someone may be at risk:

• Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or despair

• Withdrawal from friends, family, and activities they once enjoyed

• Increased substance abuse or engaging in risky behaviors

• Giving away personal belongings or saying goodbye to loved ones

• Expressing feelings of being a burden to others
