Tips for suicide prevention
Just Ask AND Listen!
If you have concerns for a loved one:
ASK directly if they’re thinking about suicide.
LISTEN to their response, calmly, without judgment.
KEEP SAFE - Contact the local crisis line or mental health clinic. Stay in contact with the person until they are in a safer place.
In emergency situations call 9-1-1 or go to the nearest Emergency Department.
