WHAT TO DO IF YOUâRE THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE
Promise not to do anything right now
Avoid drugs and alcohol
Make your home safe
Take hopeâpeople DO get through this
Donât keep these suicidal feelings to yourself
HOW YOU SHOULD REACT IF YOUR FRIEND TALKS ABOUT SUICIDE
Take it Seriously. Donât assume they will be OK or that they are not serious and donât have a plan.
Take Action. Donât wait for someone else to help them. That someone is YOU. Donât waste time. Get help.
Donât keep it a secret. Donât promise them confidentiality because a good friend will do whatâs in their best interest.
Encourage your friend to seek help. Itâs important that they actively get help from a counselor, psychologist, teacher or doctor. If they donât feel comfortable talking in person, they call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or youth helpline Your Life Your Voice at 1-800-448-3000.
HOW TO TALK TO YOUR FRIENDâS PARENT IF YOU THINK YOUR FRIEND IS CONSIDERING SUICIDE
Remain calm. Sit one or both parents/ guardian down in a quiet
Talk about the warning signs youâve noticed
Talk about, and possibly share, any evidence youâve been shown or found (i.e. text messages, notes, social media postings, poems, drawings, phone calls, etc.)
Share what reasons your friend gave and that youâve spoken to them previously and are not convinced they wonât make an attempt
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR FRIEND, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW, HAS MADE AN ATTEMPT AND IS IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE SUPPORT
IMMEDIATELY DIALL 911 and send them to the persons current location
Pick up the phone and call their parent, older sibling or anyone else who may be able to get to them quickly
Contact your parent or a trusted adult to get help with this process immediately. This will be a terrifying process if you do it alone.
If you saw the post on social media, screen shot it in an effort to show officials what you saw
If they live in another State and you canât contact parents or family, google the number to the police station in their City and tell them itâs an emergency. From experience, calling 911 in your State wonât help. They canât transfer you and can only give you the number to the Police Station in their City. Save yourself 10 minutes and look it up yourself.
You may also try to contact the Fire Station in their City. I didnât try this but itâs worth a shot. The key is to get them help as quickly as possible.
