August 22, 2009 - People who are suicidal show signs

Vail Daily: One of the questions that I am asked regarding suicide is, How do I know whether my friend or family member is suicidal.

Taken together, these two areas of exploration can help in considering the risk and deciding if action is needed to keep the person safe.
