Children's Advocacy Center for Child Abuse Assessment and Treatment

How important it is for us to take the time to be aware of the present and tune in to ourselves. Listen to the signs. Ask for help. #itsokaynottobeokay #signsimstruggling #selfcare #mondaymood #mentalhealth #childrensadvocacycenter

Never too late for some #MondayMotivation Change is difficult, but it can also be an opportunity to grow. What will you let go of and allow yourself the space to grow? #letgoandgrow #changeishard #challengeaccepted #childrensadvocacycenter

#Repost @healinghearts2resiliency What do YOU do? The first step is to find out whether the person is in danger of acting on suicidal feelings. Be sensitive, but ask direct questions, such as:... How are you coping with what's been happening in your life? Do you ever feel like just giving up? Are you thinking about dying? Are you thinking about hurting yourself? Are you thinking about suicide? Have you ever thought about suicide before, or tried to harm yourself before? Have you thought about how or when you'd do it? Do you have access to weapons or things that can be used as weapons to harm yourself? Asking about suicidal thoughts or feelings won't push someone into doing something self-destructive. In fact, offering an opportunity to talk about feelings may reduce the risk of acting on suicidal feelings. Look for warning signs You can't always tell when a loved one or friend is considering suicide. But here are some common signs: Talking about suicide for example, making statements such as "I'm going to kill myself," "I wish I were dead" or "I wish I hadn't been born" Getting the means to take your own life, such as buying a gun or stockpiling pills Withdrawing from social contact and wanting to be left alone Having mood swings, such as being emotionally high one day and deeply discouraged the next Being preoccupied with death, dying or violence Feeling trapped or hopeless about a situation Increasing use of alcohol or drugs Changing normal routine, including eating or sleeping patterns Doing risky or self-destructive things, such as using drugs or driving recklessly Giving away belongings or getting affairs in order when there is no other logical explanation for doing this Saying goodbye to people as if they won't be seen again Developing personality changes or being severely anxious or agitated, particularly when experiencing some of the warning signs listed above For immediate help If someone has attempted suicide: Don't leave the person alone. Call 911 or your local emergency number right away. Or, if you think you can do so safely, take the person to the nearest hospital emergency room yourself. #Mojos_story #preventiveca #suicideawarenessmonth
