Cultivate…COMMUNICATION by asking “the question!”

In honor of #SuicidePreventionMonth, OKPTA Cultivate will be sharing #BeThe1To’s 5 action steps that you can take to help your friends and family in a suicidal crisis. Visit www.bethe1to.com to learn more about the campaign message for National Suicide Prevention Month. If you think someone might be considering suicide, take the first step and #BeThe1To ask. Research shows that asking direct questions does not increase the risk of suicide. Ask questions like “Are you thinking about suicide?” and “How can I help?” communicates that you are open to talking about suicide in a supportive way. #SPM19
