Suicide. No word by itself triggers more alarm, fear and pain. The impact of suicide shakes families, schools, churches, and communities.

Because someone’s life might depend on it.

Respond

refer
Outline the resources available to REFER someone who is suicidal, and discuss responses as a measure of prevention.

EVERYONE CAN HELP SAVE A LIFE
Suicide… No one-word brings up more emotions than that word, and the worst emotion is regret. Regret that you didn’t know or weren’t prepared when SUICIDE actually entered the life of your loved one.
We have all heard the terrible stories of the 15-year-old who was bullied, the veteran who couldn’t take the memories, the mom or dad who buckled under the pressure, and the elderly person who just wished it all to stop. These broken souls are all around us and are crying out for HOPE.
THE PROBLEM IS HERE, AND THE PROBLEM IS NOW. THE RECENT STATISTICS ARE SHOCKING!
