According to American Foundation of Suicide Prevention, something to look out for when concerned that a person may be suicidal is a change in behavior or the presence of entirely new behaviors. This is of sharpest concern if the new or changed behavior is related to a painful event, loss, or change. Most people who take their lives exhibit one or more warning signs, either through what they say or what they do:

Usually, there are four main protective factors:
1. Being attached to others, such as family, peer groups, and school or work,
2. Being committed to a person’s greater community such as organizations, community programs, and being a member of associations,
3. Being involved in activities such as your job, school, and extra-curricular events, and
4. Having a strong belief system that offers conventional morality and ways to foster respect for those around you.
If some of the above factors are present, a person is less likely to consider suicide as an option.
