Suicide Prevention Week- Day 1

September 6, 2021 by Artia Thomas

Suicide Prevention Week Challenge #1:  Reconnect and Create a Safe Space

Welcome to Suicide Prevention Week!

Throughout this week, individuals and organizations around the state and country join their voices to broadcast the message that everyone can play a role in suicide prevention. We hope you will join us by participating in the Suicide Prevention Week Challenge beginning today – Monday, September 6, 2021. To get started download the challenge flyer and challenge card!

 

Many of us have been touched by the tragedy of suicide. We may have lost someone close to us or been moved by the loss of someone we may have never met. When a suicide happens, those left behind often experience deep shock. Even if they knew the person was struggling, they may not have expected suicide would be the result. However, many people who find themselves in a suicide crisis can and do recover. Suicide can be prevented and everyone can play a role by learning the warning signs of suicide and finding the words to reach out to someone you are concerned about.

 

Know the Signs: Pain isn’t always obvious. Yet most people who are considering suicide show some warning signs or signals of their intentions. The signs or changes in behavior may appear in conversations, through their actions, or in social media posts. These are of most concern if the behavior is new, has increased or seems related to a painful event, loss, or change. Learn more about the warning signs at www.SuicideisPreventable.org

 

Find the Words and Create a Safe Space:  Feeling connected to friends, family, and our community can  be a protective factor for suicide. As we reenter and rebuild the fabrics of our daily life that were so fundamentally disrupted, reconnecting with supportive relationships, and practicing positive coping skills is essential for our emotional well-being.  Use this time to reach out to someone in your life and let them know that you are comfortable to talk about anything they need, including suicide, and should they ever come to a point where they are questioning their reasons for living, you will be there to listen and support them. Creating this safe space at a time when there is no crisis is one way we can play a role in suicide prevention.
