Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors among young people are more common than many adults realize—and teachers are often positioned to notice when something is wrong. APA’s Mental Health Primers offer guidance on how to respond with care and confidence: at.apa.org/zfh
Recognizing the signs of suicide risk in young people can save lives. Learn the warning signs and if you notice any in yourself or others, it's important to take them seriously.
If you need to talk, call the 988 Lifeline: 988lifeline.org/
