Suicide prevention is everyone's responsibility. We can help change the narrative by being willing to talk about mental health, listening when someone is struggling, recognizing warning signs, reducing stigma, and connecting people with professional support.

Balancing Benefits and Harms: There are some benefits such as social connection but these must be weighed against potential mental health risks and, limitations in physical interactions and activities that are essential for growth and maturity.

Do not hesitate to talk to your child about the changes in mood, level of distress or thoughts of self-harm and suicide. Asking your child directly about suicide will not increase the risk or plant the idea. Continue to listen and engage without expressing judgement.
