So incredibly proud of the work @raymopt.bsky.social, @obrienemj.bsky.social, @faithstoneking.bsky.social, and the rest of LSU's Consortium for the Advancement of Suicide Prevention have done on campus and in our community for National Suicide Prevention Week/World Suicide Prevention Day.
Tips for Supporting Friends Who Are Thinking about Suicide About 12% of young adults (almost 4,000 LSU students) have serious thoughts of suicide each year What Can I Do? - Break the silence. Start the conversation. - If you're worried about your friend, you can ask if they are thinking about suicide - Talk openly and directly about suicide - Be warm, encouraging, supportive, and offer a listening ear - Ask how you can support them; say, "I am here for you, how can I best support you?" Who Can I Ask for Help? - Did you know, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 (24/7) to talk to a counselor about suicide, and figure out how to help your friend? - In an emergency, call 911
