Know the signs, save a life. Common warning signs of suicide include talking about wanting to die or being a burden, feeling hopeless or trapped, withdrawing from others, giving away possessions, and sudden changes in mood or behavior. If these warning signs apply to you or someone you know, get help as soon as possible, especially if the behavior is new or has increased recently.
This month, we also want to highlight a disparity that's too often overlooked: American Indian and Alaska Native communities experience the highest suicide rates of any racial or ethnic group in the U.S. The age-adjusted suicide rate for AI/AN individuals reached 28.1 per 100,000 in 2021, nearly double the national average of 14.1. In 2022, AI/AN people were 91% more likely to die by suicide than the U.S. population overall. These numbers reflect real gaps in access to culturally responsive mental health care, and real opportunities for our community to close them.
