🚨 Warning Signs of Su***de: Know Them. Share Them.🚨

Su***de is preventable — but only if we recognize the signs and take action.

Some signs may include:
💬 Talking about wanting to die or feeling like a burden
💔 Feeling hopeless, empty, or overwhelmed
⚠️ Changing behaviors like withdrawing, reckless actions, or using substances more often

If you notice any of these signs in yourself or someone else, don’t wait. Reach out. You are not alone!

📞 Call or text 988 — the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline
💬 Chat at 988lifeline.org
🔹 For the LSUHSC community: You can also seek confidential support through the Campus Assistance Program (CAP). We are here to help — in person, via phone or Zoom.
