Warning Signs

A check on ordinary strain versus warning signs, and on who to contact in the United States.

About this test

This page is education about warning signs and the difference between a hard week and immediate danger. It is not a risk assessment and it cannot keep anyone safe. Crisis resources, including 988 in the United States, are the action when someone may act on suicidal thoughts. The items score whether you put that contact ahead of reflection. A high score means you knew to reach help. It is not a clearance to be alone with a plan.

What this test asks

  8. You are frightened by your thoughts and not in immediate danger. Who goes on the card you write tonight?

  10. You are beside someone who may act soon, and you are able to remain. What is the bystander move?
