Help Prevent Suicide
Suicide can touch anyone, anywhere, and at any time. But it is not inevitable. There is hope.
By starting the conversation and providing support to those who need it, we all can help prevent suicide and save lives. If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide—whether you are in crisis or not—call or live chat the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Help for Someone You Know
Learn how to recognize the warning signs when someone’s at risk—and what you can do to help. If you believe someone may be in danger of suicide:
-
Call 911, if danger for self-harm seems imminent.
-
Ask them if they are thinking about killing themselves. This will not put the idea into their head or make it more likely that they will attempt suicide.
-
Listen without judging and show you care.
-
Stay with the person or make sure the person is in a private, secure place with another caring person until you can get further help.
-
Remove any objects that could be used in a suicide attempt.
