GET HELP

If you or someone you know is suicidal, get help immediately via 911, 988, 
the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK, 
or the Crisis Text Line (text “HOME” to 741741).
Suicide is preventable. Youth who are contemplating suicide frequently give warning signs.
Do not be afraid to ask about suicidal thoughts.
Never take warning signs lightly or promise to keep them secret.
