    Teen suicide prevention involves recognizing risk factors like nonsuicidal self-injury, mental illness, substance abuse, and prior suicide attempts. Parents should watch for warning signs such as suicidal threats, suicide notes or plans, increased risk-taking, giving away possessions, and substance use. To help, parents should remain calm, ask direct questions, remove means of harm, get help from the school mental health team or by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.
