Suicide Prevention Month: How do I start a conversation?
Counseling Toolkit for September 2024
Stephanie Kim, M.Div., M.A. Counselor
September is Suicide Prevention Month. Suicide is a daunting topic but an important one to talk about. In the US, someone dies every 11 minutes by suicide. If you are concerned about how someone is doing and want to start a conversation that can potentially save their life, how and where do you begin? This Toolkit provides resources to help caregivers feel more confident starting the conversation as well as what to do when someone expresses thoughts of killing themselves.
