    Together, we can save lives.

    • If someone you care about or know has said or done something that suggests they are contemplating suicide, please reach out.
    • If you are unsure, here's some warning signs to help you make an assessment:
      • • Talking about wanting to die or to kill themselves
      • • Giving away important possessions
      • • Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live

    • Trained staff members from many help services are there 24/7 and will work with you to determine the level of risk and assist you to keep that person safe.
    • If needed, staff members from these helplines can talk to them together, or, if you would prefer, they can reach out to them individually to further assess and develop a safety plan.
    • If you are even thinking about calling, do it. They can only help if they hear from you.
      Don't let your fear of potential embarrassment outweigh your fear of losing a loved one.
