Moment of Inspiration
How can you incorporate the topic of suicide into your life this week?
Be intentional and have an honest conversation about what you’ve noticed and your concerns. Listen non-judgmentally (that means not interrupting, telling them how they should/shouldn’t feel/do, and ask for best ways to support.
Be direct and ask “Are you thinking about suicide or killing yourself?
