The point of this presentation is that you break the stigma of mental illness and suicide:

What should you do for the people you care about if they  appear to be acting differently and you are concerned that they are mentally unhealthy or thinking about suicide?

T- Tell --Tell them about things that are worrying you? (signs and symptoms) "I have noticed that..."
A- Ask -- Ask directly about suicide? "Are you safe? Are you thinking about suicide?"
L- Listen --Listen WITHOUT judgement.
K- Keep safe -- How to keep them and yourself safe?
