Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
September is Suicide Prevention Month- a time to raise awareness and discuss this highly stigmatized and sensitive topic.
NAMI NYC Staten Island will use this month to spread hope and important information to people affected by suicide. We want to ensure that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help.
For the next couple of weeks, we will be sharing info graphics on risk factors for suicide, how to support someone in crisis and the warning signs.
In this week’s article we will be highlighting the risk factors for suicide.
