  • 1.  Start The Conversation - Prevent Suicide Awareness

    Posted 04-10-2023 15:18

    Starting the conversation is hard.. there is no easy way.  The biggest risk is not taking the risk.  To make it easier you can start with a text message or email if face-to-face feels too intimidating.  Let them know you care.  Combine opportunities:  sometimes it's easier to talk about how you're doing during a activity (like walking).  There can be less pressure.   Remember your why ... remember why you do what you do.  Live your purpose.

    Having training really helps when starting the conversation.   ABC has partnered with Constructionworkingminds.org on training to help with these conversations. Being aware of the signs is important.
