INTRODUCTION Recognizing and Addressing Risk Factors for Suicidal and Homicidal Behaviors Society is faced with the challenges of the aftermath of suicide or homicidal events in communities worldwide.

Treatment was ordered for this individual; however, six people's lives may have been saved if his risk factors had been addressed before it reached that point. Educating members of society to recognize risk factors associated with suicidal and homicidal behaviors is one step that can be taken toward prevention. Teachers, clergy, coaches, mentors, parents, supervisors, peers, the list is endless of people that can be taught to recognize risk factors and behaviors before individuals act upon thoughts or feelings of suicide and homicidal behavior. PART 1: SCOPE AND CONSEQUENCES Recognizing and Addressing Risk Factors for Suicidal and Homicidal Behaviors Suicidal and homicidal behaviors are increasing at a local and national level. Unfortunately, many are completing suicide and mass killings. Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in Texas and the second leading cause of death for ages 15 to 34 (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention 2019). Prevention for these behaviors is educating the public on risk factors and recognizing mental health symptoms. Not all of these events are committed by someone with mental health issues; however, many display mental health symptoms. There are programs such as ASIST, ASK, and CALM that can educate parents, teachers, coaches, mentors, and peers to recognize risk factors and mental health symptoms that can lead to suicide. Many times suicide is accompanied by murder, and are usually multiple victims in these cases. Providing ASIST, ASK, and CALM training can be the first step in prevention. Community resources are spent in the aftermath of the events and not just the local resources in the mass killing events, as many communities send their resources to assist. These events have many repercussions; sometimes, there is suicide contagion, and suicide clusters after

one successful suicide are reported. With the number of mass killings occurring, mental health consequences can arise out of fear, such as isolation. Families are becoming afraid to send their children to school, which affects the family dynamic and the social and education of the family. This social change portfolio aims to bring the community together through education and fellowship so no one feels so alone or desperate that suicide or homicide is an option.
