To help raise awareness about suicide and make an effort at suicide prevention, I PLEDGE TO:
1. TAKE THE PLEDGE:
- Learn to recognize the signs for someone at risk for suicide
- Reduce stigma by being open to discussing thoughts of suicide without judgement or criticism
- Gain an increased understanding about how suicide is a public health issue
- Share with others that suicide is a public
health issue, something that impacts all of us. - Become confident in conversations about suicide and offering hope.
- Familiarize myself with local and national referral resources so I can offer hope, and help save a life
