Individuals may or may not voluntarily share that they are having suicidal thoughts. When an individual shares it on their own, it can be difficult for loved ones to hear and they may not know how to respond. It’s a myth that talking about suicide leads to death. It’s actually important to talk about, so that the individual can get the care that they need, and the only way to do that is by talking about it. **IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY NUMBER OR GO TO YOUR NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM. **

Physical distancing and staying at home can create the potential for difficult and stressful interactions amongst family members.
