Suicide Prevention Worksheets

Common warning signs include talking about wanting to die, expressing hopelessness, withdrawing from activities, mood swings, giving away possessions, and preoccupation with death.

Listen actively, find the leading cause, validate their feelings, encourage professional help, assist in creating a safety plan, remove access to lethal means, and follow up regularly.

Communicate availability and limitations, be supportive without taking on responsibility, encourage professional help and awareness of the crisis lifeline, prioritize self-care, set communication boundaries, and respect autonomy. All of these factors can help to save lives.
