Suicide prevention is everyone’s responsibility. An important key to suicide prevention is early requests for help. Some individuals that are suicidal may “broadcast” their intentions or they may display other risk factors and warning signs for suicide. It is, therefore, important to take each and every risk factor and/or warning sign seriously. I have been to bases where someone recently committed suicide and a significant amount of the individuals on the base were educated on key risk factors and warning signs. After all, we take suicide awareness classes every year. When asked why certain individuals did not intervene, some stated “I didn’t think s/he was serious” or they were not sure how to intervene. This emphasizes the significance of taking each and every potential risk factor or warning sign seriously and knowing how to intervene early to help save lives.
