Suicide awareness

Suicide Awareness is when people learn about suicide and how to help if someone might be considering harming themselves. People learn about the warning signs for suicide, like when someone talks or writes about wanting to die, or talks about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live. People can also learn how to talk to someone if they think they might be considering suicide and how to get help for them from a doctor or mental health professional. Finally, suicide awareness is important because it helps people learn how to help each other and how to reach out for help when they need it.
