Learn more about supporting friends and loved ones thinking about suicide
Tips for supporting friends who are thinking about suicide. About 12% of young adults (almost 4,000 LSU students) have serious thoughts about suicde each year. What can I do? Break the silence. Start a conversation. If you're worried about your friend, you can ask if they are thinking about suicide. Talk openly, and directly about suicide. Be warm, encouraging, supportive, and offer a listening ear. Ask how you can support them - "I'm here for you, how can I best support you?" Who can I ask for help? Did you know, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 (24/7) to talk to a counselor about suicide, and figure out how to help your friend? In an emergency, call 911.
