Su***de prevention can begin before crisis. Sometimes, it begins by becoming more willing and more able to notice, to understand, and to talk about difficult thoughts.
A thought about death does not always mean a wish to die. A wish to disappear does not always tell us what a person means. And someone thinking about su***de may not always say it directly.
We don’t have to rush to conclusions. We can become curious about what a thought means, listen without judgment, ask what we need to know, and connect someone to support when it’s needed.
Starting the conversation doesn’t mean having all the answers. Sometimes, it simply means being willing to ask, listen, and stay.
This Su***de Prevention Month, let’s make it easier to talk about the thoughts that can be difficult to put into words.
