If someone you know is exhibiting suicide warning signs, talk to them about your concerns. Talking about suicide doesn't cause suicide - it gives the person struggling an opportunity to be heard. buff.ly/2C44Ick

Having a caring conversation with a person considering suicide gives them the chance to talk, making it less likely that they will carry through with suicide. buff.ly/3PocRw1

People who think about suicide typically exhibit warning signs. Any significant change in behaviour can be a warning sign for suicide. buff.ly/2UVUPaD

Acute warning signs indicate immediate suicide risk and may include someone threatening suicide, talking about wanting to die or looking for ways to die. If someone exhibits these signs, connect them to the crisis line. In Canada, 1-833-456-4566. buff.ly/2UVUPaD
