Preventing hate-fueled violence is a team effort. If you or someone in your life is at risk of committing an act of violence, we are here to help.
When to Seek Help
Don’t wait to seek professional help for a loved one—a mental health practitioner may be able to intervene and help you prevent a possible tragedy.
Someone who may be thinking about committing an act of violence may display concerning behaviors. Red flags to look out for include:
- Actions or words that seem like a goodbye
- Writing a manifesto
- Taking steps to plan an attack, and sharing specifics about a potential attack
- Praising past events of hate-fueled violence
- Sharing hate-based propaganda, and/or wearing and drawing symbols of hate
- For more warning signs, visit this UP End Hate page.
