We seek to understand what factors are related to suicidal thoughts & behavior. We hope our research will inform youth suicide risk assessment and prevention.

Inclusion starts with understanding. Let's continue to create spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued.

[988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline @988Lifeline]

Recognizing the warning signs of suicide can make a difference. If something feels off, don't ignore it. Help is always available.

Call, text, or chat 988 for 24/7 support.

[NAMI @NAMICommunicate]

Some days we need reminders that healing doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful.

Affirmations can be small ways to ground ourselves when things feel overwhelming. Taking a moment to reconnect with supportive thoughts can help us move through the day with a little more patience to ourselves.

Which affirmation are you carrying with you today? 💙

[SAMHSA @samhsagov]

Recognizing the signs of suicide risk in young people can save lives.
Learn the warning signs and if you notice any in yourself or others, it's important to take them seriously.

[American Foundation for Suicide Prevention @afspnational]

When AFSP was founded, barely any research was being done to study the problem of suicide.

Today, an entire field exists of suicide prevention research, and AFSP leads the way in shaping suicide prevention strategies around the world.💙

The average age of onset for self-harm is around 12 to 13 years, but cases among children as young as 9 are rising. @dennisougrin explains the emotional roots of self-harm and why early support matters. Watch the @NipintheBudFilm film to learn more. https://t.co/EJanlfJ8uU
