Help with Suicidal Loved Ones

Did You Know?

Many suicidal people give warning signs.

Warning signs include

  • Talking about suicide
  • Seeking out ways to hurt themselves (guns, knives, pills, etc.)
  • A preoccupation with death and dying
  • No hope for the future
  • Hating themselves
  • Withdrawing from friends and family
  • Many people experience suicidal thoughts and there is help and hope. nowmattersnow.org has research based tools and advice from people who have been there.

What Can I Try?

  • If someone is in immediate danger, call 9-1-1 or the National Suicide Prevention Line.

  • Take the person seriously. Do not ignore threats of self-harm.

  • If it is safe for you to do so, stay with the person. Listen to them.

  • Be sympathetic and offer hope that things will get better.
