If you are feeling suicidal,
if you know someone who is,
if you are worried about someone,
or if you have lost someone to suicide…
we want you to know that you are not alone—
support is available.
You don’t have to wait until a suicidal crisis occurs. These feelings do not have to last forever, and no one has to experience this alone.
If you, or someone you know, is experiencing
- increased anxiety and/or depression
- general hopelessness
- changes in mood, sleep or eating patterns
- increased drug and/or alcohol use
- grief over losing a loved one to suicide
