Members of the clergy are often the only trusted person in peoples' lives. Consequently you will communicate and interact with individuals on a more intimate level more quickly than other health care providers. By recognizing the signs of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, taking them seriously, and providing help and support you can make a difference and save lives.

When these behaviors block a person's ability to lead a stable and balanced life, they could be indicators of suicidal thoughts or an underlying depressive or other mental health disorder (Reference 3). |
