Today is #WorldSuicidePrevention Day, talking about #suicide is a difficult conversation that many just avoid, and some feel that not talking about the subject will make the problem disappear. Mental health and substance abuse disorders are common and combine with stressors that can overwhelm an individual. Screening programs and other interventions can be used to work with individuals before it is too late. Learning starts with observation. Though not all cases present clear indicators, understanding risk factors and identifying signs can ultimately prevent you or someone you love from harming themselves. If you notice these behaviors in yourself or someone you know there are plenty of options. The first thing to remember is there is always someone who will listen. denverhealth.org/public-health-and-wellness/trauma-injury-prevention/library/suicide-prevention
