SUICIDE INFORMATION

Steps to Prevention

If someone you know is considering suicide, take action now.
An encounter with a suicidal person is a difficult emotional experience, but showing that you care is the most important thing you can do.

When someone talks about suicide, immediately tell someone who can help.

Reassure the person and listen without interruption.

Don't leave the person alone.  Direct the person to local suicide hotline phone numbers and urge him or her to call.

Encourage the individual to seek counseling.

Discuss a concrete plan of action, e.g., if the person is being abused, consider options for help and support.

Part of a person wants to live.  Find it and build on it.

Support suicide survivors and suicide prevention.

If you are the one thinking about suicide, remember, there is hope and help.  Reach out to someone you trust, a professional or a hotline.  Now.

Getting Help

If you or someone you know needs immediate help, call 411 or "0" for the operator and ask for a local suicide or crisis intervention hotline or call 1-800-SUICIDE.
