Talking openly and compassionately about su***de does not increase risk. It opens the door for someone you care about to ask for help. If you're worried about someone, ask them directly how they’re doing. Listen without judgment and stay with them to help connect them with professional support if they’re thinking about su***de or need urgent help.

Change the narrative by replacing stigma with support and silence with courage.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 for immediate support.
