Suicide is now the 11th leading cause of death in the nation. If you notice the first warning signs of suicidal ideation, whether it\u2019s in someone close to you, or a coworker, or even someone you don\u2019t know well, it\u2019s crucial to speak up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by expressing your concern in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner. You might say something along the lines of, \u201cI\u2019ve noticed you seem unhappy, and I\u2019m concerned about you. Is everything alright?\u201d This lets them know someone cares and can help open the door for them to share their feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be attentive to signs such as:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mentioning being a burden to others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Giving away prized possessions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increasing use of alcohol or drugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acting anxious or agitated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sleeping too little or too much<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Withdrawing or feeling isolated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Displaying rage or talking about seeking revenge <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Showing extreme mood swings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engaging in daring or risk-taking behaviors <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expressing lack of interest in future plans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If they give any indication that they are struggling, guide them to immediate resources. Encourage them to reach out for professional help by calling the behavioral health phone number on the back of their health insurance card, contacting their Employee Assistance Program (EAP), or scheduling an urgent appointment with a local counseling office. In crisis situations, suggest they call the Suicide &amp; Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, your intervention could be a crucial step in helping them find the help they need. If you have lost a loved one to suicide, the impact can be intense and overwhelming. Know that you don\u2019t have to cope alone. Talk to a caring professional or join a support group to help you heal and move forward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#StopSuicide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text the Suicide &amp; Crisis Lifeline at 9-8-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>This article is brought to you by Lucet.
