World Suicide Prevention Day - Take Time To Reach Out

Published: 10/09/2021
 

You can save a life by reaching out when you notice the warning signs of suicide. These signs can mean that someone is at risk for suicide, especially if the behaviour is unusual for that person.

Here are some of the signs to look out for:

  • Talking about wanting to die or suicide

  • Talking about feeling hopeless, trapped, or having no reason to live

  • Talking about being a burden on others

  • Putting affairs in order

  • Giving away possessions

  • Visiting people to say goodbye

  • Planning how to commit suicide, such as buying a firearm

  • Withdrawn

  • Increase in alcohol or drug use

  • Extreme changes in sleep

  • Reckless behaviour

  • Extreme mood changes

If you see these warning signs, encourage the person to seek help by calling a crisis line.

For more information and tips on how to talk to them about it, visit www.sadag.org
