Suicide is complex—and preventable.
Recognizing the warning signs can save lives, especially among youth.

⚠️ Youth Suicide Warning Signs:

• Expressing hopelessness about the future
• Overwhelming emotional pain or distress
• Physical symptoms like fatigue, headaches, or stomachaches
• Withdrawing from friends, family, or activities
• Changes in sleep patterns
• Uncharacteristic anger or hostility
• Increased agitation or irritability

If you’re concerned someone may be at risk:

• Call 911 if there’s immediate danger
• Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
• Ask directly: “Are you thinking about suicide?”—it’s okay to ask
• Listen without judgment. Show you care.
• Stay with them or ensure they’re not alone
• Remove any objects that could be used for self-harm

At Child Guidance & Family Solutions, we follow the Zero Suicide Framework—a proven, compassionate approach to suicide prevention.
