Warning signs may include expressions of hopelessness, withdrawal from friends and activities, significant changes in behavior, or statements about wanting to die.

Take their statements seriously.
Listen without judgment.
Connect them with a trusted adult or qualified professional.
Do not promise to keep suicidal thoughts or plans secret.
If there is immediate danger, call 911. Do not leave the person alone if it is safe for you to remain with them.
Immediate support: Call or text 988.
