Everyone can assist in preventing suicide. No matter the individual, what problems or situation you may find yourself in, hurting yourself is not the answer. Here at Pierce Mortuary Colleges, we want to ensure you can find the resources to provide you positive aspirations.
Risk factors may make it more likely that someone will consider, attempt, or die by suicide. They do not cause or predict a suicide attempt, but they are important to be aware of. The following risk factors are important to be aware of:
Warning signs may bring awareness to you if a loved one is at risk for suicide, especially if the behavior is new, has increased, or seems related to a painful event, loss, or change. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these warning signs or other worrisome signs, seek help by calling the Lifeline at (800) 273-TALK or (800) 273-8255.
If someone in your life is thinking of or talking about suicide and you are unsure of how to handle the situation, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline will assist you with your situation. At any time, call (800) 273-TALK.
Calls to (800) 273-TALK are routed to the Lifeline center closest to your area code that can assist with local resources. Find Crisis Services Here
