A STARTING POINT
Reaching Someone When Suicide Is a Concern
If you may act on suicidal thoughts or cannot stay safe, call or text 988 in the U.S. Call 911 for immediate danger or a medical emergency. Elsewhere, use local crisis or emergency services. Contact live help now; completing a worksheet is never a requirement for support.
