    Intentions

    Intentions are what the person intends to do having had thoughts on ending their life. Intentions often sounds like:

    • ‘I might as well end it all now’
    • ‘What’s the point of me being here’
    • ‘People would be better off without me’
    Coping Strategies

    An unhelpful coping strategy is something that may relieve the stress in the short-term, but make it worse in the long-term.

    Examples include:

    • Alcohol consumption
    • Poor food choices
    • Sedentary behaviour
    • Social withdrawal
    • Excessive use of social media
    Preparations

    Preparations include:

    • Writing a suicide note
    • Stockpiling medicines
    • Setting a date and method
    Protective Factors

    Protective factors lessen the risk of an individual carrying out their suicidal thoughts. Protective factors include:

    • The impact that ending your life will have on your family, friends and / or colleagues.
    • Faith / religious beliefs
    School 2

    In the UK, modern culture is negatively influencing our mental health more than past cultures have.

    This school of thought suggests that unless these factors are tackled, mental health problems will continue to rise.

    • Demands & Pressures: There can be excessive demands and pressures placed on individuals that cannot be met, either in the work, social or family lives.
    • Social media: Time spent on social media is linked with low self-esteem, low confidence and can create feelings of jealousy.
    • Health Behaviours: Poor health behaviours are becoming increasingly common (physical inactivity, poor diets, lack of sleep, excessive alcohol intake – all of which are associated with mental health problems)
