KNOW SUICIDE RISK FACTORS

Suicide is a preventable public health problem. Depression and other mental or substance abuse disorders and a family history of mental disorders or substance abuse are some of the main risk factors for suicide. Prevention starts with early recognition and treatment of depression. If you or someone you know feels depressed and hopeless, seek help though your employee assistance program, physician or mental health professional.
