September is National Suicide Prevention Month with World Suicide Prevention Day being September 10th. Newest research from 2022 (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention) states that suicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 10-14 and the third leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds. LGBTQ+ young people are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. (Johns et al., 2019; Johns et al., 2020). The Trevor Project is a 24/7 hotline to offer crisis assistance to LGBTQ+youth. The outreach number is listed below. Here is also a helpful reminder of what red flags we need to look out for when it comes to suicide. Listed below are signs that someone may be thinking about hurting themselves:

• Drastic changes in mood and behavior even if for the better

• Engaging in risky behaviors

• Aggressiveness and irritability

• Possessing lethal means

• Feeling like a burden

• Isolating or feeling alone

• Self-harm like cutting etc.

• A sense of hopelessness

• Making suicide threats

• Giving things away

• Making funeral arrangements

• Substance abuse

Sometimes signs are not always perfectly clear either so trust your gut if you are not sure and ask. Let them know that this is a scary topic but one you are not afraid to talk about. Findings suggest acknowledging and talking about suicide may reduce rather than increase suicidal ideation. When we bring our thoughts out into the light they become a little less scary than carrying them around in the dark alone.
