Call 988 right away if you have immediate concern about someone’s safety!

​Are you concerned a friend might be at risk for suicide? Notice the FACTS warning signs:
  • F eelings—expressing hopelessness about the future
  • A ctions—displaying severe/overwhelming pain or distress
  • C hanges—withdrawing from friends; anger or hostility; changing sleep patterns
  • T hreats—talking about, writing about, or making plans for suicide
  • S ituations—experiencing stressful situations including loss, change, personal humiliation, trouble at home, school or with the law. These can serve as triggers for suicide.
 
If you notice any of these warning signs you can help!
  • Express your concern about what you are observing in their behavior.
  • Ask directly about suicide.
  • Encourage them to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988)
  • Involve an adult they trust.
 
(This information is from the FACTS handout available in the Lifelines Curriculum and Making Educators Partners)

You can ask, "What happened to you?"  Suicidal thinking can be a response to a loss or a grief that is under the surface, unexpressed.
 If a friend is talking or even joking about suicide, it is important to find them help promptly.
