Q7: What are some resources you can share to spread information and awareness about suicide prevention? #SOSChat

[Kangaroo Minds @KangarooMinds]

A6. Schools & communities can work together to organise workshops, local advocacy drives, training programs, awareness campaigns & strive to be safe spaces - it's never too early or late to have these conversations, and what better place than our schools & communities. #SOSChat

[Social Coasting @SocialCoasting]

A6: Everyone should learn the warning signs of suicide. We should all also have mental health resources on-hand, encourage everyone to seek help if they need, and to stay connected. #SOSChat

Q4: If someone you know is talking about suicide, what are some ways you can help? #SOSChat

[Social Coasting @SocialCoasting]

[Stamp Out Stigma @StampStigma]

Q3: How do you start a conversation with someone who exhibits warning signs of suicide? #SOSChat

[Stamp Out Stigma @StampStigma]

We always have to share this graphic from @afspnational! #SOSChat

[Social Coasting @SocialCoasting]

A2: Something to look out for is a change in behavior or the presence of new behaviors. If a person talks about feeling hopeless or being a burden to others, it’s important that you take action. #SOSChat

[Stamp Out Stigma @StampStigma]

Q2: It’s important to know the warning signs of suicide. What are some signs? #SOSChat

[Social Coasting @SocialCoasting]

@EPICLongIsland Great tips! It's especially important now to focus on how isolation can play a role. Thank you for mentioning this! #SOSChat

[Social Coasting @SocialCoasting]

A1: Studies show that half of those who will develop mental health conditions show symptoms by age 14. Unfortunately, signs are often ignored and not met with support for the child. Read more from @MentalHealthAm here: https://t.co/0ixTT5tlxn #SOSChat

@YouthMOVE @StampStigma As a social media professional, that's probably average! #MHMchat
