Know the Warning Signs
*If you see a warning sign, seek help immediately*​

• ​Threats or comments about killing themselves such as “I wish I were dead” and “I won’t be around to deal with this much longer.”
• Increase in risky behavior
• Aggressive behavior
• Social withdrawal
• Saying goodbye to family or friends
• Giving away prized possessions
• Dramatic mood swings
• Talking, writing, posts on social media or thinking about death.

It is important to remember the signs and risk factors listed are generalities. Not all students who contemplate or die by suicide will exhibit these kinds of symptoms AND not all students who exhibit these behaviors are suicidal.

• ​Ask: Do not be afraid to talk to your kids about suicide and mental health.
• Actively listen: “help me understand what life is like for you right now.”
• Take signs seriously: If you are seeing warning signs and risk factors, respond immediately.
• Limit access: Restricting access to lethal means, especially access to firearms, prescription drugs, and medications are important in the prevention of youth suicide.
• Do not leave your child alone: Surround yourself with a support network or friends and family that can step in and help as needed.
• Reach out: Contact the school or mental health professionals if you are concerned about your child.​
