Full 988 implementation requires a bold vision for a crisis care system that provides direct, life-saving services to all in need.
This leads to many questions about 988. We at SAMHSA welcome these questions. FAQs About 988 Basics
FAQs About Federal/State Roles and Funding
FAQs About Call Routing, Privacy, Network Functioning
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline) offers 24/7 call, text and chat access to trained crisis counselors who can help people experiencing suicidal, substance use, and/or mental health crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.
The Lifeline accepts calls, texts, and chats from anyone who needs support for a suicidal, mental health and/or substance use crisis.
Yes. 988 is built off of the 10-digit number. Using either number will get people to the same services. In the end, 988 is an easier-to-remember way to access a strengthened and expanded network of crisis call centers.
The Lifeline responds 24/7 to calls, chats or texts from anyone who needs support for suicidal, mental health, and/or substance use crisis, and connects those in need with trained crisis counselors.
When calling 988, callers first hear a greeting message while their call is routed to the local Lifeline network crisis center (based on the caller’s area code). A trained crisis counselor answers the phone, listens to the caller, understands how their problem is affecting them, provides support, and shares resources if needed. If the local crisis center is unable to take the call, the caller is automatically routed to a national backup crisis center. The Lifeline provides live crisis center phone services in English and Spanish and uses Language Line Solutions to provide translation services in over 250 additional languages for people who call 988.
Chat (English only) is available through the Lifeline’s website at 988lifeline.org/chat. People seeking chat services are provided a pre-chat survey before connecting with a counselor, who identifies the main area of concern.
If there is a wait to chat with a crisis counselor, a wait-time message will appear. If demand is high, people can access the Lifeline’s “helpful resources” while waiting. Once you are connected, a crisis counselor listens to you, works to understand how your problem is affecting you, provides support, and shares resources that may be helpful.
When someone texts to 988, they are responded to by a group of Lifeline crisis centers that answer both chats and texts. This service will expand over the next few years to increase local and state level response. Once you are connected, a crisis counselor listens to you, works to understand how your problem is affecting you, provides support, and shares resources that may be helpful. Currently, texting is available in English only.
Yes, the Lifeline works. Numerous studies have shown that most Lifeline callers are significantly more likely to feel less depressed, less suicidal, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful after speaking to a Lifeline crisis counselor.
Almost 98% of people who call, chat or text the 988 Lifeline get the crisis support they need and do not require additional services in that moment. The 988 Lifeline crisis counselors are trained to help reduce the intensity of a situation for the person seeking help, and connect them to additional local resources, as needed, to support their wellbeing.
988 was established to improve access to crisis services in a way that meets our country’s growing suicide and mental health-related crisis care needs. 988 provides easier access to the Lifeline network and related crisis resources, which are distinct from the public safety purposes of 911 (where the focus is on dispatching Emergency Medical Services, fire and police as needed).
The 988 and 911 systems will need to be closely coordinated to seamlessly allow referral of callers for appropriate care or response that addresses the unique circumstances present with each crisis encounter. SAMHSA is actively engaged with 911 counterparts at the federal, state, and local levels to plan for smooth coordination between the two services.
Currently, a small percentage of Lifeline calls require activation of the 911 system when there is imminent risk to someone’s life that cannot be reduced during the Lifeline call. In these cases, the crisis counselor shares information with 911 that is crucial to saving the caller’s life.
The primary goal of the Lifeline is to provide support for people in suicidal crisis or mental health-related distress in the moments they most need it and in a manner which is person-centered. The vast majority of those seeking help from the Lifeline do not require any additional interventions at that moment. Currently, fewer than 2% of Lifeline calls require connection to emergency services like 911. While some safety and health issues may warrant a response from law enforcement and/or Emergency Medical Services (namely when a suicide attempt is in progress), the 988 coordinated response is intended to promote stabilization and care in the least restrictive manner.
All Lifeline crisis centers adhere to the Lifeline’s Imminent Risk Policy, which means that crisis center staff work through active engagement to provide support and assistance for people at risk in the least restrictive setting possible.
In fact, most contacts with the Lifeline are resolved by the Lifeline itself, by chat or phone, in a manner that does not require additional immediate intervention.
In most states, the 211 system provides health and social service assistance information and referrals. At the same time, 988 crisis counselors will provide support for people in suicidal crisis or mental health-related distress in the very moments they need it most. While generally being different in scope, these systems need to be aligned, and in many cases, local Lifeline centers also respond to 211 contacts. We envision that 988 crisis centers will need to continue to coordinate with 211 and other warmlines. This will help ensure an all-inclusive approach regardless of which number a person may use first.
There are ongoing efforts to improve cultural competency training for Lifeline crisis counselors. In 2021, there were several activities addressing this, including updating pages on the Lifeline website and creating specific tools for crisis counselors, such as Spanish-language clinical guidance resources, Deaf and Hard of Hearing best practices for callers/chat visitors, an LGBTQ+ guidance document, an American Indian/Alaska Native tip sheet and more.
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (988Lifeline on social media and on the web) is the new name for the former National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It’s important to understand that 988 connects people to more than just a “suicide” line; 988 is a service for anyone who is suicidal or experiencing a mental health- and/or substance use-related crisis. For partners talking about 988, it’s important that we don’t call this only a “suicide” lifeline, but instead refer to it as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Yes. 988 is the easy-to-remember number that reaches what is commonly referred to as the Lifeline—a network of more than 200 state and local call centers funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Substance Abuse Administration and administered by Vibrant Emotional Health. Formerly known as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, the full name has changed to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Anyone in a U.S. state, territory, or tribe who needs suicide or mental health-related crisis support, or who has a loved one in crisis, can connect with a trained counselor by calling (multiple languages), chatting, or texting (English only) 988 (as long as the caller has telephone, cellular or internet services available to them).
SAMHSA’s longer-term vision is that the transition to 988, which began in July 2022, will spur the growth of a robust crisis care system across our country that links callers to community-based providers who can deliver a full range of crisis care services (like mobile crisis teams or stabilization centers). Currently, these crisis care services do not exist in all areas of the country, and it will take time and sustained support to for this crisis care system to evolve.
Yes. Anyone who needs suicide or mental health-related crisis support, or who has a loved one in crisis, can connect with a trained counselor by calling, chatting, or texting 988 (as long as the caller has telephone, cellular or internet services available to them).
Yes, the Lifeline responds 24/7 to calls (multiple languages), chats, or texts (English only) from anyone who needs mental health-related or suicide crisis support and connects them with trained crisis counselors. The support and service received from the crisis counselors is provided at no charge to those who use the service; however, standard data rates from telecommunication mobile carriers may apply to those who text to the Lifeline. If monetary assistance is needed for communications needs, please see www.fcc.gov/lifeline-consumers for more information.
The Lifeline currently provides live crisis center calling services in English and Spanish and uses Language Line Solutions to provide translation services in over 250 additional languages. Text and chat are currently available in English only.
The Lifeline currently serves TTY users either through their preferred relay service or by dialing 711 then 1-800-273-8255. Lifeline also offers services through chat and text. Lifeline is in the process of expanding to video phone service to better serve deaf or hard of hearing individuals seeking help through the Lifeline/988.
SAMHSA is working closely with the Lifeline administrator to ensure this critical functionality is enabled as quickly as possible. Right now, people who speak Spanish and other languages should call 988 to reach a crisis counselor who can speak with them in their native language.
When you reach out to 988, the Lifeline crisis counselor who responds to you will know your phone number if you call/text, or your IP address if you use chat. Beyond that, they will not know who you are or where you are located. And you are not required to provide any personal information to receive support from the 988 Lifeline.
If a 988 Lifeline crisis counselor makes an effort to gather information during a call, text or chat, it will be to: 1) save lives; 2) connect people to ongoing support; and 3) evaluate 988 Lifeline services.
Yes. In fall 2022, the 988 Lifeline began a pilot program to offer specialized call, text, and chat supports for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and other sexual and gender minority (LGBTQI+) youth and young adults. The program aims to support people under the age of 25 who reach out to the 988 Lifeline and want the option of connecting with a counselor specifically focused on meeting the needs of LGBTQI+ youth and young adults. The specialized services are currently available by call, text, and chat services 24/7.
The Biden-Harris administration has increased federal investments 18-fold (from $24M to $432M) for this national priority. Congress has provided the Department of Health and Human Services workforce funding through the American Rescue Plan and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Also, the President’s Fiscal Year 2022 budget request provides additional funding for the Lifeline itself and for other existing federal crisis funding sources. At the state and territory level, in addition to existing public/private sector funding streams, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020 allows states to enact new telecommunication fees to help support 988 operations.
There are several existing federal resources that can be leveraged to support 988 implementation. Examples from SAMHSA include the crisis set-aside through the Mental Health Block Grant as well as funding through the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) program. States are also able to leverage Medicaid dollars and State Opioid Response grants. States can find descriptions of these funding sources in the 988 Convening Playbook for States, Territories, and Tribes.
Successful 988 implementation requires ongoing investment and engagement from states and territories. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has been available to all states since its launch in 2005. Regarding the transition to 988, states are at varying degrees of readiness for the volume increases expected from moving to the 3-digit code. The Biden-Harris administration has significantly increased the federal government’s contribution to supporting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Most of these funds have gone to Lifeline crisis centers around the country, and to states and territories to build up their local crisis call center workforce. SAMHSA will continue to partner with states, providing a network infrastructure as well as state support through funding opportunities, coordination, and technical assistance.
We recognize the important and timely work of states/territories to prepare for the transition to 988, both now and in the months ahead. To assist, SAMHSA is funding and working with states/territories directly on critical efforts they will need to undertake in support of 988 at their local and community levels. For instance, the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act of 2020 gave states the ability to enact new telecommunications fees to financially support 988 operations, yet very few states have done this so far. Success of 988 will rest heavily upon state, territorial and local leadership in leveraging the resources already available, in addition to making new investments. We will continue to work in close partnership with them to meet the crisis care needs of people across our country.
SAMHSA provided all states and territories an opportunity to apply for funding to support 988 implementation designed to build local 988 capacity; only two states (AK and RI) did not apply, though SAMHSA is in close collaboration with them. In April 2022, SAMHSA awarded nearly $105 million in grant funding, provided by the American Rescue Plan, to 54 states and territories. Regardless of whether a state or territory received funds through that specific grant program, SAMHSA works with all states and territories to partner around enhanced crisis service capacity. HHS has several funding sources to support 988 and integrated crisis care. States, territories, and tribes are encouraged to explore which funding resources are helpful to them. States can find descriptions of these funding sources in the 988 Convening Playbook for States, Territories, and Tribes.
In future years, 988 funding needs will depend on contact volume to the crisis centers and resource needs for full implementation. This may include support to strengthen network operations, strengthening local crisis center capacity, improving public awareness of 988, and improving follow up and linkage to local, crisis care services. Any future federal funding needs will be put forth in subsequent Presidents’ budget requests.
Sources of federal funding for 988 are separate from those of the 911 system. Additionally, the 2020 Hotline Designation Act permits states to apply specific 988 telecommunication fees to support crisis services in a manner that is distinct from fees used to support 911 operations. State and local support of both 988 and 911 are necessary to advance the health and well-being of our communities.
As a component of SAMHSA’s funding, states/territories are required to address outreach and engagement strategies for populations at higher risk of suicide (many of whom are communities of color and historically marginalized groups), including plans for how they will measure effectiveness in improving outcomes and access to services across populations.
As Vibrant Emotional Health is the administrator of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, it was essential to invest heavily in network infrastructure in order to strengthen and expand the network to meet the expected increase in demand when transitioning to 988. This includes strengthening national back-up capacity to address expected contact volume while states and territories continue to expand local services.
SAMHSA provided resources for 988 partners to use when communicating about 988 to their audiences, such as content and graphics for social/digital sharing. HHS is working with Congress to ensure federal resources for a national campaign to advertise or promote awareness of 988 to the public.
Anyone who needs suicide or mental health-related crisis support, or who has a loved one in crisis, can connect with a trained counselor by calling, chatting, or texting 988 (if the caller has telephone, cellular or internet service available to them). This is true for Tribal nations, as well. However, SAMHSA recognizes the unique implementation barriers and challenges facing Tribal nations and is committed to supporting coordination efforts with the existing Lifeline infrastructure. SAMHSA expects state and territories to coordinate with Tribal nations to ensure supportive response for tribal contacts to 988, while maintaining respect for Tribal nation sovereignty.
988 provides an easier-to-remember way for people who are struggling or in crisis to reach out for help. This is an opportunity to strengthen and expand the Lifeline network and to build a robust crisis response system that links people in crisis to community-based providers who can deliver a full range of crisis care services, if needed (like mobile crisis teams or stabilization centers). This more robust system will be essential to meeting crisis care needs across the nation.
Having enough capacity to meet the growing demand for suicide and crisis care needs across the country is the primary focus of SAMHSA’s 988 efforts. This includes strengthening and expanding crisis call center services. It also means improving follow up and linkage to local in-person crisis services and access to community prevention tools and resources, as well as residential and outpatient care.
People contacting 988 are not required to provide any personal data to receive services. SAMHSA recognizes the importance and the expectation of privacy when a person contacts 988. The network system has several safeguards to address concerns about privacy.
Any effort to obtain demographic information from those who use 988 will serve three primary purposes: 1) to save lives; 2) to connect people to ongoing supports; and 3) to evaluate system needs and performance, particularly ensuring that gaps and inequities are being addressed.
No. The Lifeline administrator, Vibrant Emotional Health, is a not-for-profit organization with a primary mission to support emotional wellbeing for all people, and it does not sell Lifeline data.
No, geolocation services are not enabled for 988. The Lifeline currently automatically routes calls by area code to the nearest crisis center based on the area code of the caller’s phone number. Call routing and geolocation are related location issues but involve different technical, legal, privacy, and cost considerations. As part of the 2020 Designation Act, the Federal Communications Commission submitted a report (PDF | 448 KB) examining the feasibility and cost of including an automatic dispatchable location that would be conveyed with a 988 call. Within that report, the FCC recommended that Congress require that a multi-stakeholder group be convened to further examine the key issues and collaborate on potential next steps. The FCC held a 988 Geolocation Forum in May 2022 and the agency is actively analyzing the information gathered during that forum, including whether potential routing improvements could help callers to 988 connect to the regional call centers where they are located without sharing specific geolocation information.
Currently, calls to 988 are automatically routed to the closest 988 Lifeline crisis center based on the area code of the phone being used. Because people commonly keep their same mobile phone numbers even when they’ve moved to other cities (or perhaps they call 988 when they are traveling), this means that a caller can be routed to a crisis center that is not in their same area. If the person wants to be connected to additional local services or requires emergency service, they may need to disclose their actual location to the 988 Lifeline crisis counselor. In some instances, when there is serious risk to life and a person poses an immediate danger to themselves or others, a crisis counselor is required to use 911 to help reach a caller even without their permission (this occurs in fewer than 1 % of calls to the 988 Lifeline).
In 2020, Congress designated the new 988 dialing code to operate through the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and the FCC ordered all 988 calls to be directed to the Lifeline telephone infrastructure. The Lifeline is made up of about 200 local crisis centers across the country, which are equipped to provide 24/7 call, chat, and text services. Across many evaluations, the Lifeline has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing suicidality, and provides a robust foundation upon which to build 988.
Although we have made significant progress in improving Lifeline response rates, scaling the size of the network and building the Lifeline workforce, there is more work to be done. For years, this network has been massively underfunded and under-resourced.
The federal government is responding to these resource challenges with unprecedented levels of funding – representing an 18-fold increase this year from the previous year – and has mounted an all-of-government approach to partner with state and local leaders to improve system capacity and performance and ultimately improve the health of our nation.
However, the federal government cannot do this work alone. Additional state and local investment is needed to further boost the response rates and staffing capacity of call centers facing the greatest demands.
The Lifeline currently requires that all network centers adhere to specific standards regarding Suicide Risk Assessment and Imminent Risk interventions —however, each crisis center also develops their own specific training to meet organizational needs. The Lifeline Core Clinical Training, currently under development, will be a self-paced online training that will cover essential skills for crisis counselors who answer calls/chats/texts within the Lifeline network. Additional training is being developed to address the specific needs of populations at higher risk of suicide.
The Lifeline greeting states that calls may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance purposes. Additionally, crisis centers in the Lifeline network may independently use call recordings for training purposes, dependent on the best practices of the center.
It’s also important to note that people contacting 988 are not required to provide any personal data to receive services. SAMHSA recognizes the importance and the expectation of privacy when a person contacts 988. The network system has several safeguards to address concerns about privacy.
No. Many states and localities operate a significant number of crisis centers separately from the Lifeline network.
Veterans, Service Members, and their families call 988 and press option 1. To learn more, please visit https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/about/what-is-988. This process is the same as it has been in the past for Veterans; however it’s now simpler with the shortened 988 number.
Unfortunately, the Lifeline has been historically unfunded and under resourced since it was stood up in 2005. While we have come a long way in recent years and dedicated an unprecedented amount of resources to towards strengthening crisis care in the U.S., it will take time for 988 and the broader crisis response system being built to grow and evolve. One of the most urgent needs involves staffing at crisis centers, and we encourage anyone interested in serving in these critical positions to visit the 988 jobs web page.
July 16, 2022, is a date set by the FCC by which all phone service providers must direct all 988 calls and chats to the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. July 16 is the start of a transition, not the end, and there is still a lot of work to be done. The Biden Harris Administration has made significant strides in strengthening and expanding the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, and we expect the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will continue to grow and evolve in the coming months and years. We must have our eye on sustainable, long-term change – let us remember, it has taken over 5 decades for 911 and emergency medical services to grow and expand in our country. With 988, we’re poised for a much faster transformation.

Here you will learn about the work of libraries in the Nefteyugansk region, about bright events, creative discoveries, and you will learn a lot of useful and interesting information. We hope you enjoy with us!
"I am a parent" is an informational Internet portal under the Foundation for Supporting Children in Difficult Life Situations.
The main tasks of the portal are: prevention of child abuse, helping parents in solving family problems, getting to know new methods of education and the work of social centers to help families and children.
MAAM (https://www.maam.ru) is a site for practicing teachers, built like a blog. Materials for publication are sent by the most talented specialists! Lesson notes and examples of group design for the holidays, children's crafts and examples of games will be useful to any parent who works with a child at home and does not get tired of coming up with new thematic tasks.
The “Preschool Education” section of the Teacher Portal (https://www. uchportal.ru/load/172) also presents specialist materials: presentations, development programs, lesson plans and notes. The undeniable advantage of this content is its methodical thoughtfulness, a guarantee of maximum adaptation of the teaching material to the psychology of perception and learning of children. Of course, your child may not find something interesting or as exciting as you would like. But this site has plenty to choose from!
"Educational games for your golopuz" (http://golopuz.org) - this is the name of a site with a small number of bright, understandable to kids and meaningful flash games. Games are presented in the sections "Alphabet", "Numbers", "Logic", "Attention and memory", "Puzzles". The most obvious advantages of the site are that the games are free and there are no ads on the site! Minus in a clearly insufficient number of these games. However, if they are dosed, like any child's activity at the computer, they will last for many exciting evenings!
Let's Play (https://www. igraemsa.ru) is another site with educational free games for children. Games are divided into categories: attention and memory, logic and thinking, riddles and rebuses, puzzles, for kids and others. There is advertising on the site, but if the page is handled correctly, the child may not notice it. The games are based on flash technology and will not work on ipad tablets.
The Chudo-Udo portal (https://chudo-udo.info) is a real treasure trove of educational materials for every taste. Crosswords and puzzles, mazes and recipes, tongue twisters and audio tales, crafts and puzzles for kids - every parent will find something to do for a child of any age! The site is replete with printable materials and descriptions of various offline activities. Even if you don't use any other site for your child, you'll provide homework activities for years to come because site tasks grow with your child.
Child Development website (http://www.razvitierebenka. com) is an old-timer in the Internet space for children and parents. A team of professional educators and psychologists never ceases to please us with reviews of educational toys and books, recommendations for didactic aids, as well as descriptions of exercises that are available to perform not only at home, but also outside the home. The site has a lot of developing cards and coloring pages for printing.
"Children's electronic presentations and clips" (https://viki.rdf.ru). These electronic presentations have grown children who now go to high school. Presentations of the highest methodological quality are presented in every variety of topics imaginable: food, the street, history, musical instruments, animals and much more. If your child is reaching for the computer, but is still too small for self-study, open the presentation and start writing short, child-friendly stories about each slide. You will see, the child will love these educational conversations as much as reading books!
The site "Poskladam" (http://poskladam. ru) contains unique games for teaching children to read. Combining letters, warehouses and syllables, the children themselves do not notice how they begin to understand the principles of composing and reading words. The site is monetized through advertising, so parents need to set up the window in which the child completes the task before seating the baby at the monitor. But there are practically no analogues to these exercises in the Runet space. Games are developed on flash, therefore they will not be available for apple-devices.
Child Development (http://razvitiedetei.info) is the most concise and understandable name for a site that has everything a tireless parent needs. The site is full of specific practical recipes: how to teach to retell the text, teach how to cut with scissors, write numbers, organize a fun birthday party and much more. Most of the articles are live, written from the heart, and not for search robots - this is what attracts the attention of the site.
"Why" (https://pochemu4ka.ru) . This site has many competitions for parents and children, has its own library, and even music and cartoons. In the "Mom's Club" section, all interested mothers can share their crafts and ideas. There is also a forum for discussing the most burning topics.

Attention should be paid to those friends and acquaintances who suddenly begin to behave strangely, unusually. Most suicidal people seem to put up “warning signs” in front of them. These signs are their cry for help.
Threat to commit suicide. As a rule, suicidal teenagers directly or indirectly let their friends and relatives know that they are going to die. You can’t rethink a direct threat; it doesn’t lend itself to various interpretations. “I'm going to commit suicide”, “I won't be alive next Monday”... Direct threats, even if they feel strained, should be taken extremely seriously. Sharing with you thoughts about suicide for the sake of a “red word” or for the purpose of a joke is unlikely to come to anyone's mind.
Indirect threats, meaningful hints are harder to catch. "Life won't get worse without me" or "Sometimes you want to put an end to all this once and for all" or "God, how tired of living!" Indirect threats are not easy to isolate from a conversation, sometimes they can be mistaken for the most ordinary "complaints about life" that are common to all of us when we are irritated, tired or depressed.
Direct and indirect threats should be treated very carefully, although indirect threats can be quite difficult to recognize. Fortunately, the "warning signs" are not limited to threats.
Verbal warnings.
- "I decided to commit suicide."
- "Tired". How can! Fed up with!"
- "Better to die!"
- "Live - and that's enough!"
- "I hate my life."
- "I hate everyone and everything!"
- "The only way out is to die!"
- "I can't take it anymore!"
- "You won't see me again!"
- "Do you believe in the transmigration of souls? Someday, maybe I will return to this world!”
- "If we don't see each other again, thank you for everything."
- "I'm leaving the game. Tired!”
Abrupt changes in behavior. When people suddenly start behaving unusually, this is a sure sign that something is wrong with them. Remember: we behave depending on what we feel at the moment. Potential suicides are usually sad, pensive, or agitated, embittered, often self-hating. in the behavior and appearance of those who hatch plans for suicide, their negative emotions are manifested. Pay attention to the change in the behavior of your relatives and acquaintances in the following ways.
Bereavement. The death of relatives: parents or brothers and sisters can push adolescents to thoughts of suicide. After such a loss, the life of a teenager changes in the most decisive way, now he has to not only come to terms with the loss of a loved one, but also close the gap that this loss has made in his life. Some teenagers cannot even imagine how they will live without a father or mother, brother or sister.
The losses suffered by adolescents are not limited to the death of loved ones. Some teenagers start contemplating suicide after a fight with a girlfriend or after their parents divorced.
Sometimes young people do not want to live anymore if they have suffered a serious illness or if they have an accident that disfigures them.
Everyone bears the loss in their own way. A loss that may seem insignificant to one may become (or seem) irreparable to another. Changing his whole subsequent life, such a loss can push him to suicide.
Aggression, rebellion and defiance . Adolescents who want to end their lives are often hurt and embittered: they are angry with parents, teachers or friends who did not please them in some way, offended them, did not live up to their expectations. Sometimes they are angry with themselves, and their anger manifests itself in aggression, rebellion and defiance. Like any change in mood, such "explosions" should be alarming. People around, as a rule, do not want to deal with an irritated, quick-tempered, unpredictable person. As a result, just those people who could, if necessary, provide real help to him, turn away from the problem teenager. A person who is in social isolation is in danger of falling into the zone of suicidal risk.
Self-destructive and risky behavior. Some suicidal adolescents constantly seek to harm themselves, behave "on the verge of risk." They are carried headlong by cars, bicycles and motorcycles. No matter where they are - at busy intersections, on a winding mountain road, on a narrow bridge or on railway tracks - they drive everywhere at the limit of speed and risk. Some even carry firearms and, pretending to be dashing gangsters, carelessly brandish a pistol, point the muzzle at their foreheads, declare that they are “joking” - and demonstrate feigned composure.
Some young people who are at risk of suicide stop taking care of their health. They may begin to smoke and drink heavily or use drugs, or combine drugs with alcohol.
Loss of self esteem . There are days when any teenager feels like the ugliest, clumsiest, and stupidest creature in the world. However, such "self-flagellation" usually does not last long. Some pleasant surprise happens, and self-flagellation is replaced by self-praise, everything falls into place. As a rule, young people have enough self-esteem and self-confidence, which allows them to survive the hard times and mood swings that they are so prone to.
Teenagers who have lost their self-respect are quite another matter. Young people with low self-esteem or who treat themselves without any respect at all consider themselves worthless, unnecessary and unloved. They feel like they're outsiders and losers, that they're failing, and that no one likes them. In this case, they may have the idea that it would be better if they died.
Risk groups.
Depression and the desire to commit suicide are not the same thing. You can suffer from depression, but do not even think about suicide. At the same time, the majority of suicidal adolescents are united by a tendency to depression. Depression is usually preceded by a feeling of sadness, often unconscious, and hopelessness.
Almost all young people experience depression and melancholy from time to time. Mood swings are characteristic of young people, but these swings continue for a day or two, no more. The so-called situational depression is directly related to what happened or is happening in the life of a teenager: young men and women react vividly to bad grades, to quarrels with friends and girlfriends, to family troubles, to loss of work. Adolescents who face not one, but several problems at the same time, fall into depression, triple the ability to find a way out of the situation.
Depression can lead young people to commit suicide because depressed teenagers often think that their misery will never end. It seems to them that they have fallen into a streak of bad luck, that “it will only get worse” and that there is no way out of this situation and cannot be. They imagine that the life they lead now will continue forever. The way out of this state of hopelessness can be suicide.
Depressed teenagers lose interest in life, in the people who surround them. They stop communicating with friends, stop doing what they used to do with interest. They look sad, depressed, they sleep a lot, they usually talk in a quiet, tired voice. The impression is that they live through force. They are involved in a vicious circle: depression leads to alienation, alienation breeds melancholy, melancholy - a new round of depression. And the longer this cycle lasts, the greater the risk that a teenager, trying to end melancholy and loneliness, will end his life.
Alcoholism and drug addiction . There are three ways in which alcohol and drugs affect a “depressed” teenager:
1. If a teenager does not drink or use drugs in principle, but is depressed and contemplating suicide, drinking and drugs can cloud his mind and push him to suicide .
2. If a teenager is a drinker and drug addict, drinking and drugs can cause him to become depressed and suicidal.
3. If the parents of a teenager are alcoholics and drug addicts, then family scandals and troubles caused by this circumstance can significantly affect the psyche of a teenager, bring him close to the suicidal line.
Approximately one third of teens who commit suicide are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Most often, a teenager does not use drugs, but drinks - usually beer: it is cheaper and more accessible.
Most young people who commit suicide under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not really drug addicts or alcoholics, they are just very ill. Alcohol and drugs cloud the mind, deprive teenagers of the opportunity to think “with a cool head”.
They are already depressed - under the influence of alcohol and drugs, suicide may seem to them the only way to stop the mental pain. As a result, they develop courage and are more risk-averse than when sober.
Drugs and alcohol have a detrimental effect on the lives of those teenagers whose parents are alcoholics and drug addicts. By themselves, young people may not be addicted to drugs and alcohol, but their lives are full of suffering due to the fact that the family breaks up.
Gifted teenagers . It's hard to believe that your smart, talented friends can run into problems that will make them attempt to die. The thing is that gifted teenagers are faced with the need to demonstrate their superiority in all areas of life, which, naturally, imposes considerable obligations on them. It begins to seem to many of them that they do not love them, but the awards, prizes and honors that they receive, the abilities that they are endowed with by nature. Therefore, as soon as they get just one bad mark, take not first, but second place in a sports competition, or somehow “prove” that their talents are exaggerated, they become depressed, they begin to feel that they have let everyone down, including themselves. Feelings of shame and guilt over the “failure” that has befallen may push them to think about suicide.
Adolescents gifted in one area or another are often overly meticulous, petty; each step they carefully verify, think over; it seems to them that any decision they make should be the only possible one, that there is no other way but the one chosen by them. It is difficult for them - and even impossible - to imagine that they were mistaken in their calculations and that they should choose a different path.
Teenagers with poor school performance. Adolescents who find it difficult to learn and therefore do poorly, often suffer from low self-esteem and, as a result, become depressed. Both of these can lead to suicide.
Such students may be among your friends. Maybe they even complained to you about their lack of ability. In fact, this is not a defect, but a discrepancy: for the education of such students, other methods are needed that would enable them to finish school and get a profession.
Because these students face particular challenges in the classroom, they are under increased stress. Their self-esteem is constantly undermined by the caustic remarks of their classmates and teachers, which can make them feel like they are stupid and will never achieve anything.
Everyone wants to be loved by teachers and classmates – the lack of such love can become a heavy burden, which a teenager can get rid of only by resorting to desperate measures.
Pregnancy. Teenagers are becoming more and more sexually active every year, and these sexually active teenagers are not using contraceptives. which is why there is nothing surprising in the fact that girls in our time become pregnant at an earlier and earlier age. Many of them - if they suspect or be convinced that they are pregnant - are horrified and panicked.
Most of them are afraid of parental anger. Some people care what they say to teachers and friends. Including the boys who looked after them. Now they are likely to leave them, yes or no? How will pregnancy affect their plans?
The decisions they have to make in connection with pregnancy (to keep or not to leave the child? And if so, who will take care of it?) are also very ambiguous. It may turn out that the girl does not know what to do. She will be afraid that her parents or her friend will force her to make a choice that seems to her undesirable.
For many girls, pregnancy is an unsolvable problem. They understand that pregnancy is not something you can hide, and they believe that their relationship with their parents and friends will be ruined forever. It seems to them that life has not worked out, which means that death is the only thing left for them.
Adolescent victims of violence . Until your boyfriend or girlfriend admits to you that they have been physically, emotionally or sexually hurt at school, at home, or elsewhere, you are likely to be completely unaware of what happened. However, some evidence will give you reason to suspect that your friend or girlfriend has been the victim of abuse.
Low self-esteem, as well as rough verbal altercations between your friend and his parents, will serve as clear evidence of emotional trauma. However, young people who have been emotionally traumatized usually act timidly, shyly, as if afraid to draw attention to themselves. They have been taught to think that they are incapable of anything, stupid and ignorant. Often, therefore, they lack self-confidence, every word in their defense is given to them with incredible difficulty.
Sexual trauma is especially difficult to track down, as the herb is usually a closely guarded secret. Infliction of sexual trauma frightens young people, they lose ground under their feet, feel shame and a sense of disgust. Many teenagers try to keep such a trauma a secret, because they are afraid that no one will believe them. They are also afraid that the rapist would not deal with them or with members of their family.
As a result of violence, young people fall into a suicidal zone, because they see no other way out than death.
