It's time we talk away the dark. Suicide is a topic that hides in the shadows. All too often it goes unaddressed, even when we may sense someone is struggling. It’s time we shed some light on this leading cause of death. In our brand new national public service announcement, we highlight some of the common warning signs for suicide and encourage you to start an open and honest conversation with someone you care about, and connect those at risk to help.

What a great PSA. It really resonated for me. I think it will make an impact and encourage people to acknowledge warning signs and ask that all important question "Are you thinking about suicide?". I firmly believe it will help save lives. Way to go, AFSP. 👍
Well put, just going a little extra to find out how people are feeling and what's on their mind can make a big difference I just showing more empathy.

We need to pay more attention to our loved ones 💔💔💔💔💔💔
It is most powerful to ask: Have you been thinking about suicide? It's very sad and ironic in some cultures, asking this questions can be a problem. Hence, tweaking the word "suicide" may work...
I lost my dad to suicide on April 24, 2009. A day that I will never forget. The darkness overwhelmed him. Thank you for sharing this content to help others see the signs and give hope and light to those struggling.
